Hummm, Q for you Art. Ultra heavy barrel, looks to be a GI fiberglass stock. Did you have to cut a recess for the ultra heavy barrel op rod guide? If yes, any pics of how much material was removed? And was the stock "re-enforced" in any way?

Yep, USGI fiberglass stock. Barrel and op rod guide fit in nicely. I did have to nibble some for the rear lug, but not terrible. Also had to clearance around front ferule as always. Stock was not re-enforced.

Nice looking set up! What is it that you are using for a brass catcher?

 

[nf1e]

Commercial product by CTK Precision.

Thank you! Fighting a 24'x12' plastic tarp on windy flat farm lands of the Ohio/Indiana border is getting old.

So nice today I decided to take another rifle out. Bula XM21 209 with ultra heavy barrel in USGI fiberglass stock. Scope is Leupold MK 4 16x fixed. Ammo Berger 115 in RA 68 cases over 45 gn of N-201 set off with 210Mx. 3 targets at 100 yds with10 rnds each posted in order shot. Whatta Hobby!

Nice set up- Great shooting!

I am in love. I really love how clean and minimalist it looks. That receiver really cleans up scoping an M1a.

just goes to show that homebuilt w/gi stock can shoot w/the best of high $ crowd.

I'm skeptical that there's enough money that would help me keep up with Art, unless I was paying somebody else to shoot it.

I suppose that's an option... but given options, I'd rather make a fool of myself and share his company for a range day.

Nice stick Art. That’s some nice shooting considering it’s USGI FG stock not reinforced. That’s kind of a change for you going FG, I’m used to seeing you release your newbies in JAE. You running low on cash? .
I still want to be you when I grow up Art, and keep me in your will .

I was asked a question as to why I didn't post the whole target paper. Main reason there were no other holes in it. I only shot the 30 rnds yesterday with that rifle. Easy answer. Whatta Hobby!

 

[Idshooter]

That thing really looks like it hates paper.

Your rifles and shooting are top notch as always. Nice BULA rec. WHATTAHOBBY!!

That rifle is incredible. Honestly, I could see a healthy demand for a setup like this from a commercial standpoint. Every one of these AR 10 guys wants a sub moa M14.

 

[slippery pete]

Excellent job sir, as usual. Those receivers are slick.

The amount of people that would line up for one would be unimaginable.

Thank you all for the nice replies. I am enjoying the process more every day. Experimenting with USGI fiberglass stocks has proven, to me, that can be reliable and accurate. Whatta Hobby!

 

[whistlepig]

Nice shooting. Hope to get groups like that some day.
