Introduction
Posted: Mon May 15, 2017 11:23 pmGreetings Shooters,
I'm Buckshot, a nickname given to me by my collegiate shooting team. Raised in PA and GA I've moved around the country hunting and enjoying shooting sports and hunting where and when I can. I'm an avid trap & skeet shooter and instructor. I also perform minor gun repair and wood finishing. Now living in the Phoenix area for the last 20 years as with many, life and permit draw has impeded pursuit of some of my passions.
I recently acquired a Sears .22 Win Mag.; basically the same as a Win Mod. 150. I've wanted to take it down to refinish the stocks, inspect, clean and refurb. However I can't remove the barrel from the receiver even with a soak in penetrating oil. The other problem is I can't find a deep well socket to fit the butt stock nut. 5/8" seems too small & 11/16" with a turned down wall doesn't fit either. I'd really rather not open the stock hole any larger. Numrich shows the part but doesn't give size or specs. Looking for some answers.
Best Regards
& God Bless,
Buckshot
