A1 and L461

[rimrock]

I need help. I want to restock my L461. Is there a difference between the A1 and the L461 actions? Thanks.

Rod -

Don't take this as gospel, but I think you need to stick with the older 461 stock. I think I read the very earliest of Stoegers A-1s were unchanged, and only the box was labeled A-1. By about '82, I believe the bolt shroud and change to the tang took place. Hopefully someone a little more versed on Stoegers will weigh in...

What's wrong with your original stock? Could you just refinsh it, or are there bigger problems?

Good luck, Dick

Rod!
To the best of my knowledge, the L461 and the AI are basically the same when it comes to fitting a L461 into an AI stock!
A guy I know bought a McMillan Hunter inletted for an AI action and his L461 fitted like a glove.

Thanks for the replies. My stock is cracked at the wrist. It has been pinned and glued but I am leery of it as a hunting rifle. I need a varmint stock but don't want to spend big bucks on one that I carry in the field.This is an L461 action that I think was bought from Stoeger and fitted with a Douglas barrel so it is not a collector.

5103:

They are essentially the same. The later A-1s had a slightly longer bolt handle and a shrouded cocking piece. They will fit in the same stock inletting.

Beretta marketed its 503 series that used the Sako action. This was before Beretta bought Sako outright.

Would you be interested in selling your broken stock? I am looking for an L461 stock to cut down for a kid's gun. Appearance is unimportant. Is this a sporter or heavy barrel stock?

My L461 is a .223 with a heavy barrel. I might sell it but first I need to locate another stock. I would not have any idea as to the worth of a damaged stock. Thanks.

Beings you have the rifle in hand, why don't you just measure the twist? All it takes is a cleaning rod, tight patch, & a measuring tape. I think you will find it is a 12 twist or the metric equivalent.
