am trying to remove the butte stock from a levever A grade -- an upscale nitro special. have removed the butte plate and stock screw to the receiver. the nitro special butte stock will now detach from the receiver by pulling the wood and receiver apart. the lefever A grade has a trigger guard screw that must be removed to remove the butte stock. however when i try and pull the butte stock from the receiver it will move less than 1/4" and stop. will i need to remove the trigger plate assembly and screws that hold the metal device the butte stock screw is fastened to to hold the butte stock to the receiver. it appears the A grade lefever is not identical to the nitro special in the way the butte stock is secured to the receiver. anyone out there know the way to get the lefever butte stock off the receiver ect?

THE RIFLE IN AMERICA by Philip Sharpe 4th printing, 1958, 832pp.

This is a fantastic reference for anyone interested in the history and documentation of American sporting and military arms. In VG condition, just some foxing on the page tops. I'll include the slipcover though it's in bad shape.

I heard through the grapevine that Hodgdon in its infinite wisdom is now publishing 12 gauge loads for 244.

Sure enough, the website has quite a few loads many with some of the new wave wads, and many with pressures on the low side for the claimed velocity levels at least in the one ounce selections.

Surprising. This powder was initially marketed for pistol applications with a copper scavenger and low flash characteristics. My source claims it's either an alternative to or an eventual replacement for WST. This is just one word of mouth claim.

The main attraction at this point is that the stuff is available, and good bit cheaper than WST and the Alliant extortion when you can find any. I'm not saying it's cheap. It certainly isn't. We are still being robbed.

If you want one ounce loads in the 7200 psi range with snappy velocity, you might want to investigate 244.
