A while back I started to describe my perfect muzzle loader and realized what I had just wasn't that far off.
So I am taking my Elite to the next level. While it's not "exotic wood" I purchased a nice used Walnut stock in "mint" condition.
I was not able to purchase new from Knight as they don't offer stocks in Walnut anymore. So after exercising considerable patience and doing some extensive shopping, I was able to purchase two stocks in Walnut for the Disc Extreme, one perfect and the other with a few minor scratches. The latter will be a refinish project for my Elite 45.
I would like some opinions on gun stock finishes if you have done one yourself.
I then opened up the stock to fit the lug (really not that difficult).
I checked the fit with a $100 bill, and the barrel was floating perfectly.
I will install a Simms recoil pad, a leather sling, and the new bolt and breech plug for BH 209 when it becomes available.
I will then jewel the bolt. And have Knight install the spring loaded bolt detent, and it should be done.
Did I miss anything???
Oh...anyone need a composite stock in camo or black?
Sorry the pics turned out kinda blue....and the date is wrong...
