Nice pratical job there, with all the vertical and lateral movement built in that is needed in the ooloo.

The PH version was purely a lump of shaped wood, with an alloy plate inserted in amongst the butt adjustment pads with a hole on the top where the bolt went through to the block of wood, and Eddy Taff the senior Engineer at Parker Hale, simply put another bolt straight down from above into the top of the plastic Mc Millan butt.

Probably a reason why none were ever sold with the rifle...............sad but true! Can't find any drawings of the fit anywhere which for hitories sake would be good.
