4. Completely remove the buttstock from the receiver, along with the
existing shim, and install the shim you have selected (Figure 14).
Make certain you have the proper shim installed and in the proper
position before reattaching the buttstock and recoil pad.
5. When you are satisfied with the fit, reattach the buttstock to the
receiver with the attachment screw, do not overtighten.
6. Attach the recoil pad with care, so as not to scratch or mar the finish
of the stock.
18. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES, PLACE
THE “SAFETY” IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. EJECT THE
MAGAZINE, OPEN THE ACTION AND MAKE CERTAIN YOUR
RIFLE IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. KEEP THE MUZZLE
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW
THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH.
Shims marked 1R1L, 2R2L, and 3R3L, will all adjust drop at comb the same
amount as shims 1, 2 and 3, and will also adjust the cast right or left
approximately
1
/
8". You will notice that the two opposing edges of these
spacers are different in thickness. For right-handed shooters, install shims
between the receiver and the stock with the R facing the end of the
buttstock, so its thicker side is on the left side. This casts the stock slightly
to the right, away from the face of a right-handed shooter. If you turn the
shim around so the L is facing the end of the buttstock, and it will cast the
stock to the left. These shims with their respective stamps are further
clarified below:
• Shim 1R1L raises the comb approximately
1
/
16", and the heel
approximately
1
/
8" and will adjust the cast on or cast off
approximately
1
/
8".
• Shim 2R2L adds the same amount of cast to the stock as shim 1R1L
with neutral drop like shim 2.
• Shim 3R3L adds the same amount of cast to the stock as shims 1R1L
and 2R2L, and lowers the comb approximately
1
/
16" and the heel
approximately
1
/
8".
17.4. SHIM INSTALLATION
1. Make sure your rifle is completely unloaded and the “safety” is in the
on safe position.
2. Use a #2 cross tip or Phillips screwdriver to remove the recoil pad at
the end of the buttstock. Place a small amount of petroleum jelly on
the screw access slits on the top and bottom of the rear of the
buttstock to prevent damaging the recoil pad. Insert the screwdriver
into each of the two access holes. Make certain the tip of the
screwdriver engages the head of the screw. Turn the screw
counterclockwise until the screw is completely loose from the stock.
When both screws are free, remove the recoil pad.
3. Using a long standard screwdriver, turn the stock attachment screw
counterclockwise (Figure 13).
