Here is my MK85 with a composite thumbhole stock in really nice condition. It has the original iron sights plus Weaver ring bases - no scope or rings included nor the peep sight. There is some minor pitting just in front of the breech area from using 209 primers with Triple 7. I have since sold the 209 kit and it’s back to the #11 cap ignition.
I had seen an article on bedding with pillar blocks to I had some turned down, drilled the stock, and epoxied them in place. While they were curing I had the barrel taped up slightly so that it is free floating now.
I drilled a hole from the rear trigger guard screw up thru the rear tang and rear plugger collar. I used a mark on the rear collar aligned with the sight hole so it would align correctly every time. Then I tapped the rear tang and collar at the same time.
I shortened a long screw so that it would go thru the tang and collar but stop just short of the plunger. It really works great.
The last thing I shot with it was a 5x5 elk in 96’ because I had to use iron sights in Colordo. I really love the thumbhole stock with the Fajen cheek pad but I’ll let it go for $275 TYD, and I’ll cover any Paypal fees and shipping.
