LOL you win Pedro, it has been removed. My buddy did keep his stored weapons as safe as he could. The bolt is now where it should be.

So I have started looking into some ideas to maybe make this rifle even more modern and something eyecatching. but I am wondering after finding the stock I like and doing some research would I also have to purchase a new trigger kit? or would the one existing work?
Here is a link to what I am looking at. Before I hit buy I would like some input from you folks

You don't have to replace the trigger to replace the stock.

The Archangel stock makes it very easy to install a Timney trigger down the road if you want to.

If your going to bench only that stock would make sense. If you want a more versatile gun, I'd go a different way. Just my 2.

It is pretty much going to be on a bipod. just ordered the stock. To be honest the way it is now is hard to shoot without a rest.

Well the stock came in, and I did the install... So painless. And yet soothing.
