I meant the clamp that goes entirely around the barrel and wood and is removeable to keep from having to drill a stock or barrel. You know, Joe had some cast up and was offering them for guys to buy. I think Jerry Hartwig bought one and finished it up. Anyhow, it would clamp the whole sheebang together and just look like a partial accessory.
I do possess a pair of magnets that would do the job of holding a forearm. We used them in safety switches on ski lifts. I laugh at folks who try to separate them with their fingers. I already warned them of the danger of blood blisters when they pop back together with some finger still in the space! Powerful little buggers. Wish I had a dozen more.

well, it would be pretty thin wood when you got done. might rupture the wood when you tried to remove the forestock. nothing's perfect. What I want to ask about this rifle is: why the worry about modifying it with a screw hole? Its already not even a Ballard barrel, and that's a far bigger modification than a screw hole.

I'd have to agree with that. Now, get out your pocket knife and start whittlin' that chunk of lumber out in the barn, aging since the turn of the century. Ought to be ready.

Perfect shooting conditions this morning. 50 yards off the bench with CCI SV 22LR Christmas 2016 lot. Best I can do. Tried my offhand on paper too, got some work to do in that respect.
