Re: 57 to 62 conversion

I should have added; I have modified the stocks on all of my rifles. Aside from bedding, all buttstocks have been reshaped for left-hand shooting. Many of the Husky stocks came with castoff and are really annoying to shoot from the left shoulder, in that the knife edge comb cuts the face. I have totally reshaped mine, giving one a little hogback but basically lowering the comb till my chin rests on the forearms and the sights are dead ahead. I think I have high cheekbones, but I have always felt recoil on my face far worse than on my shoulder. All of my guns are now very easy shooting, including my 5 1/2 lb 46 in 9.3x57 with the original HVA jaktdiopter peep sight. What a delight to carry, and eveyone who shoots it is amazed at the lack of kick.

Anyway, my stocks are not "stock" so don't think Husky stocks look like mine.

Here are 3 of my Husky stocks from above and behind, showing the "rollover" effect. I used a Farrier's rasp, files and sandpaper to shape, shouldering the rifles as I altered the stocks to make sure the sights line up.
