Re: 40X .22 trainer
That's sweet, Do you have a closer picture of the bottom metal and the bolt handle? I'm building one now on the cheap and will be making modifing some things myself and am looking for ideas. I'm using one of the Choate Stocks; yes I know its cheap but it's a 22 after all.

Re: 40X .22 trainer
wow Don, u have another ? Did you get your Choate stock ? I did and after using it for a while, and I decided to go to a MCM route. Just wondering what your opinions are on it. I had put the 40x into mine, just did not care for the feel of it.
Don you are the 40x man ! And thanks again !

Re: 40X .22 trainer
I'll take some more photos for ya, and try and get some close ups. I really never thought a .22 could be this much fun again but once I shot my buddy phylodog's 40X I had to have one, and mine has been that great too.

Re: 40X .22 trainer
HI Padron, ya I got the Choate last week. I've been working on it's flaws. There was alot of flash from the mold process and I knew I'd have to cut down the RH corner because of the 721 style safety. I blocked the mag well yesterday and will glass bed the action to the stock this week. The butt stock is hollow and drums so I'll fill it with expaining foam and lead shot to add weight. The slick feeling I took care of with Acetone as I think the mold release agent was still on the plastic. I would say if I did it again I'd go with a H&S for another 50.00 or so as it would be a hell of a lot less work to set up. Donald

The knob looks interesting. How is in textured? Looks like non-slip on leather just can't tell in the photo. Thanks for the photo. Donald

Re: 40X .22 trainer
the knob is steel and is knarled, its tuff to see it in the photo, then there are three rings cut in that have a rubber ring placed into the slots.

Re: 40X .22 trainer
Ok I see that now. Thanks for the info. A couple simple Orings and you have a nice non-slip grip.
I took mine out today in a Choate stock and shot it. It did well and I think I'm still going to skim bed the action to the stock even though I do not think I will make any diference. I filled the butt with old 22 bullets and expanding foam. Makes if feel alot less cheap and helps anchor the back really well.
Thanks for the post and photos Mike. I enjoy the info and helps me think through my build by seeing what others have done.
