    It will fit piece of piss.
    Not a bad price if it hasn't done much.
    Pretty easy to get in as well.

    I bet that barrel weighs a fucking ton. You'd be better off to order a new one in a standard profile. My R93, 7-08 standard profile has been chopped to 18.5" and is just about right for weight now.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Really? Man Stager said otherwise....grr. Would it be easier to ask 45 South to get in for me...he probably is much better at it...wouldn't mind paying bit extra for his time.

    My carbon wrapped barrel is oversized. And I had a #4 contour aftermarket barrel and just relieved contact points with my dremmel.
    Bugger! Sorry Didn't click till now it's a professional stock. I have an off road. Tons of room.

    Yup ask him to get it for ya. But technically it is no different to bringing in a barrel blank.
    Hugh will know if your pro stock can be modified to fit the barrel.
    Looking at it it should be pretty easy.
