Yet ANOTHER NS522 thread!
- Thread starter DeRK
- Start date
Sounds more and more that these NS522 actions were thrown into EM322 stocks, and EM322 trigger guards were used. Would explained the gap with the KFS stock, and the washers used to fill the gap under the trigger guards.
I would just use some brown bedding material, or brown wood filler and fill the gap.

I'm thinking you're right as the gap on the Canada Ammo stock and the KFS one are identical.
Asked KFS to check it out before they ship another with the same issue.
If that's the case, EM322 trigger guard was used, I'll keep it and fill as you suggested.
hmm, well after speaking with the guy making the stocks, I don't think it's really worth while, especially since he doesn't seem to know what a group buy is.... :\
He wants $260 per finished stock, or $240 if you want the stock bare and you put the finish on yourself, but shipping according to him is $50 per stock, and there are no further discounts even if we were able to get enough interest for 20+ stocks.
ah well. ill just stick to free floating and pillar bedding mine i guess.

Will pm you, thanks.
Pic's sent.Want to update everyone on my KFS replacement stock.Spoke to Shane from KFS sales dept, he indicated that the issue is with our bottom metal and
not his stock's. I have decided to keep mine as my options were , full refund or a different stock with the same issue.KFS are very professional and quite patient
with me through this .They also said they never imported the EM 322 so there is no possibility of a stock inletting mix up.
They also have a good inventory of magazine's left , and if demand is there for more they indicated they may manufacture their own.
Be advised they can't ship the mag's to Canada.

You could post that question in their Forum here on CGN... Click on Dealer Network up on the top left, click on Canada Ammo...

Very interesting post. As I understand it, Keng's imported the NS522 into the US as barrelled actions only, then they stocked said actions in stocks supplied by Bishop's. I cannot understand why their Bishop stocks would not fit their 522 barrelled acions(?). The EM-332 bottom metal was painted white, as the photo posted by another member above shows. The story of these rifles grows more puzzling....
The 332 was simply the sporter version of the heavy barrelled 522, so I'm not sure the bottom metal is different, except in color. The origins of the CanAmmo guns are kinda obscure, but they were at least originally scheduled to go to Keng's (thus the "KFS, Atlanta, GA" stamp on the reciever). This is just my guess, but I'd say CanAm put the 332 stocks on the 522 barrelled actions.
I added a pic of both bottom metals a few posts back. They are a bit different but the same short rear tang length. I don't have a pic of the KFS trigger guard though but suspect it's longer there.
I think the painted metal was probably a cast alloy piece, while the new ones are milled.
Good shot of the 322 handle cut.

Has anybody talked to Boyds about getting stocks for these guns? I know they would need to have a rifle there to figure out the inletting(?) on it, but they would maybe be a more cost effective solution. If there was enough interest, maybe they'd be able to help us out.
I ordered myself one of these too now. I had to see what all the hype was about and i had missed the first batch. But ya that stock looks ugly. If its as ugly as the pictures, i might just try to modify it myself to pretty it up.

Has anybody pushed a lead projectile through the bore of one of these rifles? It would be interesting to see if the barrels are choked and how tight the bore is. The accuracy is pretty astonishing for such an inexpensive rifle. I would love to hear how a 'plug' pushes through one of these as compared to through and anschutz 54 acton.
Interesting you should post this, because during the cleaning of the barrel I was able to use my one piece .22 cleaning rod on it. Where as the same rod would not go past the chamber of my CZ 452 American .22lr. I had to buy a .17 cal cleaning rod for the CZ.
