I picked up a 1948 FN .270 last summer with an old K4 in Buehler mounts and a left-hand stock.

I want to remove the LH cheekpiece, replace the old pad, and replace the Tenite forend tip and grip cap with contrasting wood ones.

I also want to replace the long Buehler base with the short one that places the front ring over the receiver ring instead of out over the barrel. I just picked up the Buehler Little Blue Peep sight that fits in the rear ring slot. The trigger also needs work.

I haven't even fired this thing yet, but the barrel looks pristine.


What fresh Hell is this?
