I found this poor little lonely ad that was about a month old on barfcom for a Clint Fowler built double lug on a SAI receiver. The price was WAAY too good to pass up so I pulled the trigger.

I pulled off the scope mount, bipod and cheek rest and restored it to it's intended roll- A High power competition rifle

Specs are:

-SAI receiver sold as a receiver in 1989 which I've been told by the seller that Clint Fowler of Fulton armory converted to a double lug.
-Krieger heavy 1-10 in chrome moly( I like the black look!)
-TRW bolt
-HR trigger group
-NM hooded sights
-Standard front site(which I'll be changing to NM)
-Heavy contour walnut stock which is BEAUTIFUL I might addGI2

I haven't taken a look at the oprod yet but I'd almost bet it's USGI

Finally got a chance to take her out on Sunday and put some lead through her.

Judging by the 10 round rapid string she put up, I think she'll do...... GI1

Nice rifle and good shooting !
I have 2 that Clint Fowler lugged and they both have been excellent performers...... I will not say that either gun shot much better after double lugging than before -- But, the double lugged bedding has worn out a couple barrels and is still very tight.......
One of the guns is in an early McMillian stock and the other is in a heavy wood stock that looks very much like yours...

You have chosen wisely grasshopper -

Yeah the lugs won't really help the accuracy other than prolong the accuracy.

One thing that concerned me with this rifle is that it has a very light trigger group lock up. I was all concerned but then realized that the action is bolted the the stock so tight lock up is not required.

Can't wait till I cAn get it to a 88 round NRA match!
