The bottom of the fore end had about .060" crown where the parting line of the injection mold came together so a couple of minutes for setting up in the vertical milling machine and another couple of minutes with a 3/4" end mill made a sufficient flat spot for the Area 419 Pic Rail / Flush Cup mount. Epoxied the treaded inserts into the stock for the pic rail ( McMaster-Carr to the rescue for the button head allen screws ), installed the Noveske the Flush Cup at the rear of the stock and it was ready for paint.
The OEM trigger got a lighter spring so the trigger is about as good as a Tikka single stage now.
The stock sounded a little hollow so a couple of shots from can of Great Stuff Foam was applied the the rear cavity of the stock to quiet it down a bit.
A Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25X50 was mounted in MDT Rings was robbed from a different rifle and a 20 MOA Browning Pic Rail ( Again Thanks to @Darryle ) was installed to hold the optic to the reciever.
Suppressor muzzle device is Griffin Armament Paladin taper mount,
Now for the Money Shots:
I'm ready to torque everything and laser bore sight it for a trip to the range to see how it shoots.
Deer Season in Alabama Zone C open on Saturday the 23rd, I have my 16" Grendel AR to shoot as a back up if need be.
