Phil, give me some time and I will get some pictures. I've never cracked this one...and will do so for the benefit of your project. The other won't be coming out, it is lugged with a torque screw.

I really wish I would have taken more pictures.

 

[Phil “Murphy” McGrath]

Thanks for the pic's.

 

[MeatyMac]

That's the picture that I didn't take, actually only seen this area on my McCoy once just after I got it, that and today are the only time it's been out of its stock.

 

[aloreman]

[Wolley]

I'll try and get some pics up this evening.

 

[deiter]

This picture of the bedding is not like that in Wolleys Mc Coy rifle. This job may have been done by the young man Mac was training, maybe not...Art

Which picture, Art?

 

[art luppino]

The real Mc Coy?

Ben,
I said: Quote, " The stock pictured in this Thread of the receiver bedding does not look like the bedding in Woolley's M1, which is typical Mc Coy.

What I recall of Wooley's bedding is: The material is Bisonite, I do not know what is used in this man's M1... There is no evidence, or very little, of bedding material in the counter recoil areas... This abundance of bedding in Wooley's M1 in the counter-recoil areas was one of the points of my original Thread because it was typical McCoy style. Nobody ever found out how Mac managed to get the bedding material into that area and keep it there.. Hence, the Mc Coy Secrets.

Mac told me he was training a young man to take over his business when we last spoke.. My opinion is: Having worked with Mac and having been the proud owner of a number of his Matched M1's, I am of the opinion this pictured bedding job was done by some else..

I have no reason to denigrate this man's M1, nor am I passing judgement on the quality of the work, only expressing an opinion.. Art

Ahhhh, help the Big Slow Dummy out who's rifle are we talking about again? Roadkings....

 

[Roadkingtrax]

Both examples posted are the same style Phil. I'd be surprised given the fact the rifles I owned were built in Don's garage/shop by him, for the previous owners from San Diego. GI1

McCoy had to have used more than just Bisonite (Brown/Red) bedding? Only the ones I have seen have been Grey, or Devcon color. (Same as Ron Foos) As a matter of fact, other owners have observed as much.

There is an M1 by Don on Gunbroker right now in .270, looks the same. Do a search for McCoy it will come up.

 

[Phil “Murphy” McGrath]

I don't think Don really cared for one brand over the other, he had done so many over the years he left that decision up too the rifles owner. I've seen Ron's rifle and knew it was done with Devcon. When he got it the first match that he used it down in Tucson, he crushed the 300 rapids and that's when I got his 135SMK load data.

 

[MeatyMac]

That particular McCoy is notable because of it's triple lugs, I've read that Mac only made 3 triple lugged M1's, but I have no way of confirming this.

 

[Phil “Murphy” McGrath]

Your close, he made many triple's. But only made 3 Long Range M1's converted too single shot that were triple lugged heavy match barreled with a 8.5 twist.

 

[MeatyMac]

What I read about the three 1000 yard guns states the guns were built to shoot 190gr. projectiles, article says there's also a video of Mac building the three 1000 yard guns that came with the rifle; I'd sure like to see that one GI2

The rifle in that vid is owned buy a guy that I've seen post on other forums as Latigo? I didn't remember what his barrel spec's were. He snagged his for a on-line auction and he did even know what he had for a long time.

I know of another Long Range triple lugged McCoy M1 and its barrel is a heavy Obermeyer with 8.5 twist 5R its fed a steady diet of 200SMK with large loads of IMR-4350 under them. You don't even have too know how too read the wind too hit the X-ring. BOOM and for what feels like two mins later the target comes up with the spotter in the X. Its owned by a Tucson shooter that owns more than his fair share on McCoy rifles.

On these McCoy rifles, what is the draw pressure like to lift the stock ferrule up from the lower band? Light squeeze? or heavy handshake?
Thanks,
Dennis

 

[Wolley]

Heavy Handshake. Just like a properly bedded M14.
I apologize for no pics.
Been very busy getting a Palma rifle back up and running after a barrel change due to monumental failure in the middle of the Berger South West Nationals.
