My "New" SBT

[Frank Culbertson]

perhaps the "aftermarket" front bead is too high, can someone please measure the height of their front bead for me?
since this bead is quite large, I am guessing that this could be the reason for it appearing to shoot low. Opinions? the bead measures .205" high.

Here is what I'd do if it were my gun.

1. Fix the screws
2. Cut that extension off and put on a Hawkins pad assuming the LOP is what you like.
3. Send the gun to Mark Larson and have him raise the comb to what you want and have him blend in the grain and color. Otherwise try using a Beretta Gel Pad in 1/4" size and see if this gets you to the proper height. Your gun should have an ivory mid and front bead. Find a replacement ivory/plastic front bead. The height of the front bead should be .125 from the rib to the top of the bead.

You can get replacement Ivory beads as well as a comb adjustment kit from Galazan. I used the comb kit on a GHE 16 but have since sold the gun. If you would like to try it I'll send it to you. If you like it we can talk if not send it back.

Your stock checkering pattern is original to the gun from what I can see. I'd get rid of the Morgan pad and like others have stated have Mark Lawson extend the stock if needed and fit a period correct recoil pad.
