My buddy and I went to the range Friday morning, primarily so he could test fire his 22 Hornet. I went along and carried my unproven 98 Turk K Kale. Had a box of 188 grain cast boolits that I wanted to try out. Well, I started out at 50 yards and had to move the target up to 15 yards before I could get holes in my target. Not going to show y’all the target... too embarrassed.
Today, I decided to take a closer look at the Turk bedding and found the stock was putting quite a bit of pressure on the barrel right at the front of the upper handguard. I actually had to coax it out with a rubber mallet. It took a little work, but I got the stock relieved enough to make it a drop in fit. Had a little bit of Accu-gel on the shelf so I glassed the recoil lug area while I was at it.
This week will tell the tale. Hopefully I can post some good news.
