Some more pics.

I would like to be able to install a bayonet on this rifle. I would machine out the inside of a cheap, but decent bayonet ring to fit over the barrel. But I think that the measurement from the front edge of the upper band to the muzzle is too short, even though the barrel is 23" long. Which only tells me that the OAL length of this stock is more than the 38" of the PC/Short Rifle. Am waiting on measurement from my dealer. If true, if i have a correct front sight installed back the correct distance from the muzzle, I "could" file back the nose of the stock, reshape and reinstall the upper band so a bayonet would properly attach. How often would I need or use a bayonet....probably never....but I would like for it to attach.

Thoughts....opinions, suggestions?
