Thread: Classy lightweight takedown

@joelhenton
I solved the tool less take down problem.

Don't take down at the hinge pin
Take down at the butt stock bolt.
Barrel plus action stay together and are only 40mm longer than barrel alone.
I have still ditched the fore end and using a very small shouldered hinge pin I made.

The alloy take down screw comes out the pistol grip cap and they just need knurling to be complete.
They are counter bored to save weight and are identical to the original factory steel cap screw.
They are captive inside the pistol grip cap which they come through
Easy and quick to use even without the knurling.
But will need the knurling when wet.

Scope is quick release also


This is the shorter of the 2 take down screws I made. 3mm longer one is better and knurling will be added


Alloy counter bored to be exact same weight as the original factory steel cap screw. A bit of anti seize on the thread and it's easy to use.
