Questions about my M-1

[FishinMarine09]

Well, we'll have to wait for the pics, but why not hunt with the stock that's on it, and put the new stock on for match shooting? Are you going to try and refinish your stock?

I have a rifle with a new Criterion barrel, and it isn't much better than the one I have with the loose muzzle. Of course I'm not a great shot, either. If I had it to do over, I would not have spent the money. It sounds like the guy you got it from knew it was a good shooter, esp. if he used it in matches. I think you got a super deal on it!

Thanks bud, yeah i am going to the range soon. My shoot partner and I are heading up to his farm soon so we can shoot 1000yds with his Styer. And that is where I am going to put my rifle to the test. I shoot pretty good for the exp I have I am only 23 and with my Bolt rifles I shoot -.5 moa at 100. My stock on the M-1 is in amazing shape I might refinish it but I dont know just yet. The reason i want the new stock for hunting is if I fall or something i wont hurt the wood.

Again thanks
Randy.
