Browning T bolt…
Browning T bolt…
A few weeks ago I happened to stumble on a grail gun, and it lived up to the HOLY part! I found my T bolt! Earlier that day Sako and I were shooting and we do lunch at a local Mexican outfit. As conversations always drift towards guns I said “the next T bolt I find I’m buying!” All this after lusting after Sako’s maple t bolt. Any way we stopped by the gun shop after lunch and there it was on the rack a Maple T bolt in 22lr! I grabbed it and walked to the front in one motion. An employee said “there is another one upstairs if you want to look at that wood too.” The one I was looking at had AAAA MAPLE, how could it be better? It was. After an agonizing couple weeks here it is! My holy grail T bolt in all its maple goodness!

Just as pretty as the first time I was it. Congrats on freeing it from jail!

Browning can find some nice wood, my SA-22 came with a nice stock too

Re: Browning T bolt…
Now I always thought the wood on mine was pretty nice but the figure in the one Andy got puts mine to shame.

Re: Browning T bolt…
That is fine wood.
Sako any chance that store would let you switch stocks ?
Or buy it outright and still come out ahead.

Re: Browning T bolt…
Wouldn't bother even if it was possible. I still am very happy with mine, it's just more straight grain than the fiddle back Andy got and I'm happy for him. At least now I know mine won't mysteriously disappear at the rangeJunkCollector wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 12:39 pm That is fine wood.

Re: Browning T bolt…
Sako’s rifle was in real danger of disappearing at the range! It’s only because he kept it dummy corded to the bench that it didn’t! The reason I “had” to have one!

Re: Browning T bolt…
I haven't seen too many maple stocks, that one is beautiful!
Glad you found a super grail gun.
