Herters U9 Stock ?

[Mully]

After reading the BSA thread below I thought this would be a great place to ask if anyone knows where I could get a stock for a Herters U9 in .264 Win Mag? It's a BSA action. Numrich gun parts had some advertised as old stock BSA but the action length was wrong. Any info would be appreciated!

There are at least a couple of Herters U9 stocks blanks on Ebay.

Heaters! LOL Thats what they used to call guns in the Roaring 20's!
Not that I was there or anything like that... I cop to being a curmudgeon but am only a year younger than Joe! So call me anything you like, just dont call me late for lunch!

Well darn. Here I was thinking it would be a thread about heating German U Boats.

Sorry, darn spell correct that I didn’t catch. Anyone know what action length they called the Winchester Magnum family of cartridges?

 

[sestoppelman]

Long.

I ordered a long from Numrich and it was too short.

 

[sestoppelman]

Hmmm, well I dont think they made an extra long. According to the book, BOLT ACTION RIFLES, the U9 came in two lengths only. One for the shorter rounds and one for the '06 and short mags, .300 Win etc. He also notes that the U9 actions were longer than their BSA counterparts for the same rounds. That may be the problem.
May have to keep looking to find a U9 stock.

That is what I think the problem was, but it was advertised as a U9 stock made by BSA. So still looking.

They likely didnt know there was any difference.

 

[Mully]

I agree. They sure didn't edit the item after I told them. It's still listed on their site.

Thanks for the info sestoppelman.
