Next is to thread barrel for a muzzle brake to keep muzzle flip to minimum for quicker shot recovery.
Anyone know of any barrel bands for a laser attachment

Room for extra optics or laser on this? https://www.brownells.com/optics-mo...rbine-m6-b-forward-optic-mount-prod20476.aspx Brings the level of utility closer to an AR.

Why poly coat the stock when you could simply paint with flat black for a more modern look?

That mount is unstable vs solid screw mounts into the receiver. I actually found a specialty mount that doubles the bayo lugs capacity.
As for stock finish im thinking of rinokote next. Depends how it holds up to the tatical carbine matches as im tired of using the 30-30

I have a carbine with a threaded barrel and would consider trading barrels... what are the details of that barrel?

Rinokote, like the truck bed textured coating? You'll get better grip for sure. But don't mess up a nice, new stock with that stuff. I'd try it on an old, beat up USGI stock before risking a bad result on something nice.

With a scope like that, you should convert the buttstock to an adjustable cheek.

If the scope has enough adjustment Im cranking it up 31' ( '= min) and moving out to 200.

 

[majspud]

They really slammed you on the CMP forum; I guess the real beef was that it is a Rock-Ola.

What a bunch of purists over there.
