OK Gurus,

Help me out!

I have the Survivor 308 HB and want to put the Laminated Cinnamon wood stocks on. H&R wants $86.00 for the stock and fore-end.

But......I am thinking I can buy the SB1-822 Ultra Rifle 22Mag/22HB for $135.00 at Wally World and then switch the stocks and fore-ends. This would leave the 22Mag as a knock-around gun and give the 308 HB more weight.

Will this switch work?

Thanks,
Buffalogun

Should work fine, unless there is a difference in the forend barrel channel due to barrel contour.

Buffalogun and quick, just to let you guys know that swap as outlined will work out slick, perfect fit all the way around....<><.... :grin:

Thanks guys, I hoped this would work as the barrels are both HB's and looked to be the same contour. It's like getting another rifle for about $50.00.

And Quick, I am gratified! :lol:

I wanted a .17 with the laminated stock, but they only come with composite stocks. So I bought a .22WMR with the laminated as well and switched stocks. For slightly more than the replacement laminate stocks would have cost I have the rifle I want, as well as a .22 WMR for my son. I did the switch yesterday and the laminated forearm fit the .17 perfectly. I will have to do some more minor fitting for the composite forearm on the .22. The butt stocks are fully interchangeable.
