I've been using my Feinwerkbau 300s for a couple of years now for practicing silhouette. It has always been way too short in length of pull for me and I just kept putting off fixing it. Well, I'm trying to get serious about my position while shooting and the only way that is going to happen is if I actually shoot a rifle that fits me like my other guns. So I decided to make an adjustable butt plate assembly rather than making spacers. This design isn't new... but I made it and thought I'd share. This gains me up to 3.5" in length and the ability to cant the buttpad if I want.
Cheers!
I've got to remember to take progress photos when I'm working on my little tinkering projects. I always get done and then say "DOH! It'd be nice to have some photos to document the process!"
Here are my only photos I took. :-\ You can see in the bottom photo that I had to lengthen the slot because it was too stiff and wouldn't tighten down on the .75" rod. This whole thing would have been about a 10 to 15 minute job on a CNC mill. For me and my little manual mill... 8 hours (including all my head scratching and trips to the hardware store). :shock:
