It's in progress.What all did the build consist of?
Can see a trigger swap & pending scope install in the pic.
Were the action, barrel, stock and such separates ?
Wasn't real hard to this point. The BX trigger drops right in with no screws, just 2 cross pins and I threw in an aftermarket soft bolt stop pillar while I had the assembly out. The .920" and other "heavy" barrel models have only one screw holding the whole barreled action to the stock. You can mess with the torque from 18 to 25 inch pounds to see what your particular rifle likes but Ruger says don't go past 25 in-lbs. The standard carbines also have a barrel band. Hard to tell the difference in the BX vs STANDARD Trigger once installed unless you are used to looking at both. The magazine release is a little different but not much.What all did the build consist of?

You can thread the Standard Carbine barrel and keep the front sight too.. Easy peasy. If your can has female 1/2- 28 threads, I can sketch everything out on paper with dimensions so you can get a gunsmith or machine shop to do it. I would recommend the machine shop. You might have to take them just the barrel tho. A lot of them won't mess with them if the receiver is on it. Anyhoooo... They have the "stuff" and most of all the knowledge to be ACCURATE.I'm not sure the barrel diameter on a carbine would allow threading and I think you would loose the front sight
And both of my standard carbines are really accurate. I might put a target scope on one just to see what it will do.I'm not sure the barrel diameter on a carbine would allow threading and I think you would loose the front sight
