Once I got the barrel back, I had to open the barrel channel to float the Bartlein barrel.
Then drilled and installed flush cups front and rear.
Then filed & sanded the bolt notch in the stock for clearance.
And finally got 'er all bolted together.![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/fwVAHYe.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/x5G763o.jpg)

Once again, Al hit it outta the park. Good things happen when you come clean!  BTW, I'm likin' the McM Game 'Series' stocks. Gotta Game Hunter (Black Friday acquisition) on a Christensen Arms Ridgeline.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

BTW, I'm likin' the McM Game 'Series' stocks. Gotta Game Hunter (Black Friday acquisition) on a Christensen Arms Ridgeline. Was hard to get away from my comfort zone, but I'm really liking this stock.
