    Thats where the tape goes that holds the strip of tape over the muzzle.

    Gives me at least an extra 400fps as well.

    My rifle has a "Schuler" style two piece stock. The fore end is fixed via two studs, this allows the barrel to move as it heats up.

    I have flipped the ivory night bead halfway up, it folds over the gold bead front sight when in use or into the front sight ramp when not in use.
    Night sights are crucial when hunting Trolls and Vampires.

    Going back a few years, the top one is Austrian, the lower one French.

    50 & 68 Caliber.

    I thought I've seen a no1 mk3 Enfield sporting mannlicher stock online. Didnt look to shabby either.
    Almost had a thought to try it on one of mine one day.
    If I could have a play with a pre bubba'd original military fore stock to see what it looked like first would be the go.
