VH Has Been Restocked

[Mike Koneski]

My VH 12g Infallible trigger gun has been restocked. The “original” stock was butt-ugly and too short. The new stock was procured from Keith Kearcher at the Vegas show. Stock is now fit and 95% finished. Comb is too high so I’ll be taking it down. Right now when I mount the gun I see the entire rib. I have no desire to have to “float the birds” while shooting. Shot it yesterday. I’ll be working on the comb next week and it’ll be back in business soon.

Notice the locking screw in the tang screw by the top-lever.

A few more….that “original” stock needed to be replaced.

Mike: Whose long tail trigger guard did you use ?

[Dean Romig]

A nice CH stock upgrade. :clap:

Very nice Mike. Is that little lock screw on the top "action" screw particular to a gun with Infallible triggers? Not sure I've seen that before.

Came with the stock!

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, Mike, I noticed the lock screw. Yes, it is standard equipment on the Infallible trigger, to keep the tangs tight. However, yours looks like it was installed by Howard Miller or his brother. Just joking, of course, but someone could easily clean it up. I like the new stock.

Nice piece of locust post Mike.

I believe it is so the action stays tight and doesn’t mess up the geometry. Those are technical terms.

Now it’s a CVH! If I ever sell it I can use the online auction prose of “This is an ultra-rare configuration….” :rotf:

How’d you know that was black locust??? It’ll never rot. Slather it up with Hoppes #9 and don’t worry. BWAHAHAHA!

[Daryl Corona]

The 64 thousand dollar question is can he shoot it??:cool:

Did that stock bolt on, or did it need some fitting?

Basically correct; it prevents the shooter from "fine tuning" (e.g., re-QUALIFYING) the top tang screw head so it stays true in butt-to-muzzle alignment. Loosening or over tightening the top tang screw can produce over- or under- torque on the top & bottom tangs; the trigger plate being immediately affected by that can stress the movement and timing of the ST platform and components and produce all types of 'unpleasant" results: misfires, nonfires, and my personal favorite, doubling.

Priceless!!!

[Mike Franzen]

Stamp the serial number under the tang and 50 years from they’ll be declaring, “Factory”!

Needed quite a bit of fitting.

BRILLIANT!!

The lower tang screw is every bit as sensitive to over or under tightening. I wonder if that one has a lock screw as well?

[Mike Koneski]

Dean, no locking screw for that bottom tang screw.

[Mills Morrison]

Big improvement and a lower comb will be just perfect

[Bill Murphy]

I have two early Infallible trigger guns that have no lock screw to secure the hand screw. Later guns do seem to have the lock screw.

[Dean Romig]

Probably because it's not as easily accessible.
