RAW REPORT

[SMH77]

Done-that was easy. Took a few minutes to realize the sliding plate was symmetric so it just needed to be flipped over to put the gun stop on the correct side of the rest (to convert the handle over to the left side). The stupid springy cable is now off, as is the handle.

Now I just need to find a parts store that carries the carburetor studs and I can put the handle back on. I’m going to try NAPA tomorrow-hopefully they have them...

Sounds good Sean, through up a pic when done.

Another option on the modification, is if you do not find the carburetor studs is cut the cable off the adjuster and use the end of the adjuster bolt and drill out the handle.
I had to turn down the adjuster bolt but got it to work.

Thanks for the info guys really appreciated afternoon going to look into the bald eagle thing this afternoon

 

[Imold]

I was going to order some 30 cal polymags for the HMx but before I do I was wondering if they fit in the 30 cal magazine or do the tips need to be cut?

 

[Hynzie]

the polymags do not fit the mags the hit harder than heck u need the sst or funble with hand loading the sst makes it so much easier ,,, pat

 

[Imold]

Well my other Aztec Emerald showed up today so now I’m just waiting for the HMx .30 to get here Friday or Monday and i also ordered 4 more tins of 44.75s and 1 tin of polymags to try, going to put a set of medium Hawke rings on the scope and hope the mag clears, these Hawke rings look low compared to my other medium rings but I’ll give them a shot, think I can get it to where the center of the scope is just enough back for the mag to clear...One step closer now.

"Hynzie"the polymags do not fit the mags the hit harder than heck u need the sst or funble with hand loading the sst makes it so much easier ,,, pat

Think I’ll order a tray then.

looks like I’ll need to call Sandra tomorrow being it’s not listed on their site.

 

[SMH77]

I got the needed carb stud from NAPA today (part number ST-20, for $1.99), and it installed perfectly. Fine thread was about 1-9/16”. Works great, and much less clunky than that spring cable setup. 

 

[Imold]

Looks good Sean, wish I could find one with windage adjustment but thay are all sold out and discontinued at all the places I’ve looked, lots available without the windage but that’s not what I would like...

 

[Imold]

Looks like my HMx .30 will get ups'd out tomorrow or Wednesday so it will be next week when it gets here.

 

[crgabel]

Don't forget the pic Jim.

 

[Hynzie]

SEAN would like to narrow the search do you have a part number for the BALD EAGLE PAT

 

[terrymc]

Pat,
Look for a Bald Eagle BD1005 for an aluminum slingshot.
Or BE1004 for the triangle in aluminum.
As Imold said they are becoming scarce as they have been discontinued.
But I do recommend finding an adjustable rest unit if possible.

 

[terrymc]

I just looked bullets.com shows the adjustable aluminum triangle in stock and 
both the adjustable triangle and slingshot in stock in cast iron.
At great prices! $139 for the aluminum triangle and 199 for either cast iron one.

 

[terrymc]

Of course the cast iron weighs more 21 lbs. vs. 12 lbs for aluminum.
maybe an advantage but man don't want to lug it around.

 

[Imold]

Thanks Terry,I missed that one, thought I looked and only seen non windage, I going to look again.

 

[terrymc]

Hopefully they are accurate.
That is where I bought mine originally.
Only not as cheap as they are now, by a long shot.

 

[Imold]

The slingshot is 165.00 + 42.00 for the half moon front pad..missed it last night, only seen the other one for 139.00......

 

[terrymc]

Yes however the others they show IN STOCK that one says VIEW ITEM.
This leads me to believe it is out of stock. Hopefully I am wrong.
