what is an M.83?

[Rwsgunsmithing]

I had a great chat with Dick Davis at McMillan a few years ago about a few of the PH rifles (C3A1 and M85). He had a lot of insight on the rifles that used there stocks.

I hate to burst bubbles but McMillan doesn't have the molds for the M85 stocks anymore. Now they still make the McHale stock but they can't inlet it for the M85 action and DBM. My suggestion is to order it with a Mauser 98 or PH 1200 action inlet with the barrel channel you want and if your going to use the M85 DBM order the stock as a flat bottom and have it inlet by a gunsmith.

@LeeEnfield- The rifle still looks good. That was a fun project. Please O' Please don't use the m85 stock for anything other than a M85 action. I would consider trading a new McMillan stock to you for it.
