Jim, Congrats. Great action, great caliber and great gunsmith. I need to make sure that Tip understands that he needs to finish my .404 Jeffery first though.  Mike Mike | |||

don't worry, he put me in line... i saw your springfield .458 too..... he'll order the barrel next week... he had a #7 contour .416 barrel, but after we weighed the barrel blank, i decided that the #5 was a better choice... now i need to find a mcmillan stock for an enfield.... he told me that there was a 13 week wait.... go big or go home ........

My McMillan stock took 6 months. I ordered it in July and got it in January. Good luck. Mike | |||

now i need to find a synthetic stock..... i called macmillan today, and was told that they DO NOT make a stock for the eddystone enfield... i guess thats why i couldn't find it on their website last night.... B&C makes 1, but on the advice of several people i respect, it IS NOT an option.... i don't want wood, as this is a truck/inclimate weather gun....brownells offers a wood stock for around $80.... cheap, so who knows???....i'll consider a laminate if it will hold up without looking beat-up.....anybody got suggestions???? go big or go home ........

You'd better be a skilled fiberglass boat builder/repairman if you are going to use an MPI stock. I have done it once, and will not do it again. | |||

ring stuart satterlee and ask him if he will inlett a mcmillan blank for you, if you order a blank from mcmillan the wait time is only six weeks thats what stuart is doing for me for my M 98 actions! Daniel | |||

Somebody say they are doing a springfield in 458? I'd love to see pics and hear some more about it.
