Started life as a Tactical ADL, dropped it in a Bell and Carlson stock, added a floorplate, leupold vx3i and what not. Shoots well with factory or reloads.
Once I finish with graduate school, I had planned to turn this into an m40a1 clone, but I am starting to change my mind. I am still planning to drop the receiver off at Douglas and have it re barreled with their m24/40 contour barrel. 500.00 for a barrel replacement and rework of the receiver, not a bad deal. In the meantime I am planning to skim bed the stock while it has the factory barrel.
Will I have to reskim bed it once the barrel is replaced? I don't think it will change anything but I guess it depends on what happens to the receiver while its at Douglas.
Also will cerokoting the action affect the bedding job? Once its rebarreled I want to get the action, barrel and floorplate cerokoted. Stock will be repainted after bedding with alumahyde flat black. Other question, once the gun is rebarreled, will the old BC stock become the weak link in the rifle?
