where is the buttstock from?
Whole thing is made by me...Quote:

I recommend buying the whole thing, which at Rob's current pricing will be a bargain. The new-release stock for the Kimber 84M is stunning in appearance, finish, and performance.
Here's the thing: if a rifle doesn't shoot it could be caused by one or more of any number of things and the potentially lengthy task of finding what combination of failings are the cause begins. The cost of tracking down such faults can easily end up being more than initially paid for the rifle.
Conversely when a rifle just plain shoots from the outset you know that all the stars have aligned and everything is as it should be. This includes all the necessary contributions from the stock, among these having the necessary contact points that interface with the action present in the right places and sized appropriately, and with none of the unwanted ones present — of which there could be any number. Based on what I'm seeing with the 6.5CM here, the 84M Elude has these right and is a great platform for the Kimber. I haven't even touched on the excellent ergonomics.
I'm thinking about it, unfortunately I have 3 howas and a Bergara....Quote:

Only trying to help :D
Yep I make them for the Mini.Quote:

I don't have an action here to check the fit, but it looked about right.Attachment 266387
Top feeding that mag will be the hassle but it is doable.Quote:

I'm sure you know but you could probably use a small t slot cutter to put notches in the chassis so the metal hunter mag inserts locking tabs actually latch in.
Any more progress with these? Could you machine one to accept the magazine?
I'll have a look. My concerns would be removing material which is helping with stiffness, may not be enough meat for the catch, screwing up parts that are done and that the mag would sit too deep in the chassis to be able.to be grabbed easily.
Also the added machining adds to costs.
Cheers
How did you get on?
