That does seem off..possibly reading the sabot?

That was using a Magnetospeed.

So here's so pics of Mark's barrel with a Boyds stock

And here's a factory barrel

You can see how the metal bars continue between lugs on Mark's barrel and are nonexistent on a factory. I had to remove wood to allow for that and deepen the channel for the ramrod

Is that the Platinum stock?

 

[brownisdown]

Yes,I see that bar on my barrel as well.So just some dremel hand tools too deepen and wiiden the channelthen.

Is that the Platinum stock?

It is. Maple X with checkering

Nice! I’m thinking about a platinum for my next build.

Only thing I don't like is the forearm is very flat and wide. While that's great for the bench, it sucks still hunting. Wish it was more like TC's laminate for the Omega

Agreed…kinda like holding a 2x4

How would the original Thompson Center thumbhole work with the Omega Brux barrel?

I believe Mark makes these Brux and McGowen barrels to any external dimensions. My McGowen is a 1” shank and the Brux I have coming is 1.1” shank. I’m certain either a Brux or a McGowen could be made to factory dimensions to fit perfectly in an OEM lam stock (with no or little fitting).

Here is a pic of my McGowen in the OEM synthetic stock. Fits, but tightly. I haven’t shot it in this configuration.

Boyds has 2 times of stocks.The Varmit stock is the one that has the wide forend.But it is made for bull barrels.The feather lite has the rounded forend.I spoke to Ashley in customer service and that is what she explained to me.For the Omegas.

I love the feel of thumbholes but I really like not having to completely break my hold to cock the hammer. In the market for a Omega factory laminate non thumbhole if anyone would like to part with one. I bet I'm the only person looking for one.
