[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1681166, member: 96226"] Looks like the stock & bedding block was put together by a kindergarten paste eater with obstinate defiance disorder. That squeeze out, mmmmm. Those gaps, tasty. What I would do normally, even with things with bedding blocks, I'll do a skim bed with devcon or similar 2-part epoxy including fully bedding the recoil lug. So to my tastes I'd have the broken and substandards stuff replaced and then I'd break out the epoxy and Pam cooking spray anyway. The whole stock as it sits though would be a non-starter for me and I'd never use it because you really can't easily repair a bad epoxying in of a bedding block. One does it right the first time specifically to avoid that exact situation. What do I see that burns my biscuits? There are unfilled areas around the bedding block and there's squeeze out everywhere there's not a gap. That, to me, is a sign of a craftsman (term used loosely) who was having a bad day or more likely who never was a craftsman to begin with. I'd also be curious about the marks from the bedding block on the receiver. Looks like the assembler went gorilla mode with the torque wrench. It looks like more than just a little grime. Replace the stock and it might just shoot lights out. Basically, new stock time at minimum and in your shoes I'd say, new rifle time because a gunmaker making promises about performance doesn't get to then hollow out a turd and then polish the surface up before selling to someone who was trying to do me a very lovely and sweet solid. Let the maker have an opportunity to make it right and let them know that it's not just you they've failed, it's the person who got that for you as a gift and who now has had their heart broken a bit by the resulting drama. If they don't make it right put 'em on blast. [/QUOTE]
