Handi grip stock?
« on: January 22, 2011, 12:54:36 AM »
I know these will fit on a shotgun, but will they work? I'm assuming that they are designed for use with a scope.

 Mine is on a .223 bull barrel. With my cheek bone on the stock, I can see straight down the top of the barrel.  ;)

Everyones face is a bit different, but it would work for me too.

The stock has a roll over cheek, but its not very tall. I the wood monti stocks are higher.

do you know if the forearm will fit on a 12ga barrel? I got one from Brownell's and it stated that they don't fit the full sized rifled barrels. Mine is a 3 1/2" turkey barrel and it does'nt fit that either

i put a hg forend on my 3.5" chambered choke tube barrel. it did require some inletting to reduce forend to barrel pressures. my barrel does not say turkey on it, but with the correct choke it can be used as one
my barrel is not drilled and tapped for scope....it is a pardner barrel i just got off the classifieds the other day.
maybe yours is different. i think its called a turkey tho. there might be a couple different kinds of turkey barrels.
lets let tim decifer this. he knows ;)

I agree, it should fit all barrels up to and including the 12Ga. BUT minor fitting could be required as Gendoc mentioned.

I have them on two rifles with scopes and have no problem with the sight picture at all.  The only complaint I have is about the buttstock fit to the frame on one.  It is a little flexible/loose even with the bolt screwed fully in and seated with some locktite 242.  I may end up doing just a little glass bedding between it and the frame just to stabilize it completely.

Standard forends will fit all barrels, Superlight rifle up to and including the standard 12ga shotgun, even the 20gaTDC(dunno about the 12ga TDC tho), but as John stated, you may have to make some adjustments, all barrels pretty much are the same diameter at the forend position, some will just fit with more or less clearance. I had to hog out a synthetic forend for my 20ga TDC barrel right where the chamber swell fits just ahead of the spacer, but the barrel channel is fine.
