Weight system tube install

[AlNyhus]

This one is ready to head 'west river' to it's owner. Robertson LV stock with a weight system to better balance it for the HV class.

Closed end 7/8" o.d. tube is bedded into a base of epoxy. The butt plate is also bedded to the back of the stock:

1/4-20 screw will attach the weight to the butt stock. The front of the weight will have a rubber bumper so the weight is always under a bit of compression:

This thing is so beautiful I had the yips the whole time it was here thinking something could happen to it....a legion of locusts, the Four Horseman Of The Apocolypse, the local Shiners Oriental Band.....

Very similar to the way I’ve been doing it for years. I use a rubber o- ring at the back for compression, and Tungsten (Tungsten/copper) bar for the weight.
Ya gots to watch out for those locust swarms.
