CMP 40x restocked by Jim Cloward w/ Pic

[LittlefieldK]

Jim Cloward recently finished restocking my CMP 40x in english walnut. The rifle also has a CG-uni trigger and Rightsight. The rifle will be used primarily as a winter training rifle for Palma, but hopefully we will sneak in a smallbore prone match now and then.

I think you should send the rifle to me (for proper barrel breakin and fine tuning) This is a tiresome chore and looking at the condition of this rifle :it may take SOME time to do properly. Just trying to help a fellow shooter out ;D ;D... NICE OUTFIT

Ken,
I applaud your efforts (incredibly successful efforts IMHO!) to bring one of these old CMP rifles to the level of aethetic beauty & functionality it's entitled to. I'd love to see more of these rifles ''all dressed-up'' instead of stored in someone's closet.

I recently delivered one of my CMP M52Ds to a custom stockmaker & gunsmith, along with a very nice English walnut stock blank to give it similar treatment. I certainly hope it turns out as beautiful as yours.

That my friend.. is one beautiful setup! Hope that it is a joy to shoot and keeps you behind the plate.. I have a Win 52D in one of those rare Fajen International stocks.. it is a pure joy to shoot.. I was thinking about sending it to Butch next year to have him do some tune up on it.. pull the original bbl off and put it up and have a custom bbl on it.. so I too can use my Right Sight on it.. It sure is fun shooting 22 at 200 yards..

Ken, that sure is a good looking rifle. Stirs some thoughts about doing something similar with my old 40x .22. Love those 200yd .22 matches.

Ken,

Thank you. I will give Jim a shout once the left coast wakes up.

Is that a scope and receiver sight combo piece on top of the receiver?

"Is that a scope and receiver sight combo piece on top of the receiver?"
Actually no, the sight mount and rail are separate pieces. The scope rail is a 0 degree Cloward rail that Jim fitted to the receiver. The original sight mount was not high enough for the Rightsight, so Jim is installing a higher mount for me tomorrow.

I have a Leupold 6.5-20 EFR scope for any sight training and matches.
