All I can remember is that there is fine print when ever you start mixing handgun frames and rifles. You can go one direction, but can't go back.

I too have heard this in the case it be handgun to rifle is ok....rifle to handgun is not ....but have never seen this nor can find it. I am sure it only constitutes in some states..and unless some one did a check on the registry of the gun not really worried to many people I know switch back and forth continuously thats what this gun was intended to do. I think it is more so meant for regular rifle ....bolt actions..ie...doing something like the remington xp.

Well here it is all together going to apply the desert camo paint hopefully this weekend .I'll post pics when done. OK as you can see no paint yet. I found the stock did not fit me well, so I added a comb and had to re contour a little bit ....see 1st and 2nd pics of stock. just the way it goes?

Should give you a quick inline view through the scope plus it looks like would handle recoil good if you were to switch barrels. Kind of a "Weatherby" look t it. GOOD job!

Hey Looney...would you put one on those hot Hornady reloads (as mentioned in my "secret recipe") through you new and improved .223? Go for it! Shoot a fast rope.
