I would tap and plug front ring, re-install G&H mount (7/8") and I would want to reconfigure bolt and stock cut. I would clean up butplate do my best on wood at butt and have fun with it. Oh..... And nothing wrong with K hornet I just don't want one. I think mine is about a $500.00 project. Nice rifle and I like it!


I like your plan B Gary. Mount an Alaskan or Zielklien low enough that it would require the bolt to be modified. Then just reshape the handle and checker the knob. The bolt handle cut in the stock goes lower than the Lyman 48 cut so it would be hard to hide. See how it shoots, and if it does not shoot then we can sleeve the barrel and take it back to straight Hornet.
