A 1 Varmint Stock

[l461]

First post on here I am from Australia and recently stumbled onto this sight.It has been a great read and the photo`s are enough to make a bloke drool.
I have just bought an A1 Varmint stock can anyone give me advice on whether I can fit it up to my L461 action.
Once this one is finished I will be working on getting an L579 220 swift that is buried in the back of a gunsafe.

Yes, an A-1 stock should be a drop-in fit for an L461. That is, as close to "drop-in" as any one stock and barreled action can be -- there are sometimes tiny variations which may require minor fitting. But the L461 and A-1 have identical action dimensions.

And WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

L461- I hesitate to tell you that it definitely will. It will depend largely on who produced the stock (Factory or Custom) and also if it may be a factory second take off stock or a "reject". It will be close, if not a drop in fit. If the stock is too loose I would say it is a "reject". Your barrel channel will be loose in any event unless you have the same barrel profile. The bigger brother --L579--- is no slam dunk either. Let us know if you get lucky with it- Mike

Thanks for the replies fella`s .I should have mentioned the stock is a factory item.And the rifle is a 17 rem with a shot out barrel.So the stock will be used with a replacement varmint weight barrel.And the sporter stock stored for future use.
