Rolling block parts
« on: January 21, 2013, 10:53:22 AM »
 I have a Pedersoli Rolling block 45-70, octagan barrel, anyone know where you can get parts for this gun I'm in need of a butt stock right now, the one on it has a roll over cheekrest and it would smack me in the face if I shot it. I just bought the gun on Auction. Thanks for any help. Peter

I have an e-mail out to them, still waiting for a reply but their site says that the butt stock is no longer carried, checking with them to see if they know where I can get one. Thanks for the reply. Peter

Peter - a butt stock with a cheek piece is more advantageous than a straight stock for accuracy.  You might want to shoot the rifle first before swapping out the stock

The problem with the cheekpiece is that it's right behind the pistol grip. Must have been made for a child or someone who needed a short length of pull. If I try and put my head on it the lenght of pull is way short, if I put my head where I would on a normal stock, toward the butt end the cheekpiece is right in front of my jaw, I don't think shooting it like that would be enjoyable. The rifle has a set of Pedersoli soule sights on it so at times I think your holding your head off of the stock, don't know about this, Ive never shot a gun with a soule site on it. I'm thinking of just cutting this extra chunk of wood off and forming the stock, still have time though won't be taking it out for a few months yet.Thanks guys for the replies. Peter

Ah yes in that case it doesn't sound like it would work out. Hopefully you can find a replacement stock. As for the sight yes at the longer ranges your head will come off the stock as you increase elevation on the sight. It is weird at first but you adjust to it after a few rounds.
