As of last night, I’m the proud new owner of a Super Black Eagle II. In prior experience as a new gun owner, it’s usually wise to do a couple of things right out of the box. Read the manual and take the gun apart to clean it of residue. The second step has also always helped me get a good working knowledge of how the gun operates. The second step is also the cause of the issue I’m currently struggling with a bit.
After taking it apart and cleaning everything, I was re-assembling and managed to get everything back together correctly – with one exception. The stock locking plate. This is the little metal plate inside the stock close to the recoil pad. It orients the stock – along with the shims that come with the gun. You guys already know this. Well this little plate fell out and I don’t know how it goes back in.
My understanding is that there is a specific orientation this plate needs to be in. This leads me to my question. What is the right way to put the plate back in?
As I see it, there is 4 ways the plate can go in there. I.E top to bottom can be switched and the plate could be flipped over and inserted one way or the other. So – four ways. The plate has a hole through it that sits closer to one side than the other (L to R) and closer to one end than the other (Top to bottom). I am a right hand shooter and this is a right hand gun. I’m not attempting to make any stock adjustments. I just want it to be back the way it came from the factory.
I know there are letters on the plate. DX is right hand. So do I orient the “DX” that’s printed on the plate on top? Are there letters on both sides of this plate? Any help or PICTURES would be greatly appreciated.
