Big Thumbs up for Al Nyhus

[jimmymac]

I recently bought a used LV bench gun to use in UBR. It shot good right out of the gate, but I determined it could be a better handling gun if I changed the balance point. The gun was nose heavy. Since the goal for this gun is UBR custom class, I had about 3 pounds to play with. Enter @AlNyhus

He gave me the straight scoop on the proper balance point and then offered to make me a weight system, so I took him up on it. I bought a 3/4" x 8" long copper tungsten rod and sent it and the butt plate to Al for some fitting. I located the spot on the butt plate for the rod and Al did the rest. He turned this thing around for me in a couple days to minimize the impact on the beginning of the shooting season.

We have some really great people here. Al is one of the best. Thank you!

@gunsandgunsmithing also gets a shout out from me. He provided some excellent information to push me in the right direction. I made a jig fixture per his instructions and it really simplified the installation.

Thank you Mike!

Projects like this are fun and what this hobby should be all about...shooters working together.

Thanks for the kind words, Jim.

Have to agree. Both Gentlemen are a true example of what this Forum is and what it should be. Just had a phone conversation with Mike and looking forward to having one with Al soon. Would like to also mention WSMNUT, SmokinJoe, AckleymanII, Bart, Hntndad, and Nakneker as well. They have answered many questions and shared with me as well. I appreciate all these guys do for this site.

No Al. Thank you.

I get what you are are saying. It is just a good way to live life.

Completely unrelated, but I get more out of helping someone catch the biggest fish of their life instead of me catching that fish. Mine will come around. Same side of a different coin.

Plus 100 on this. There is not another br shooter within 75 miles of me so I learn from reading and applying. Without these guys freely providing directions and sharing information, I would be fishing, hunting and bowling a lots more.

I hope to see you at our club match Saturday; even if you're gonna kick our butts again!

Hope to be there and hope to get lucky. Maybe I will even be able to shoot my target both relays this time.
