[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 359535, member: 19372"] This is what the stock looks like now - the "before" picture: [IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b336/frwillia/Before-4-CRS.jpg[/IMG] The compressed area around the magazine well and where the tang rests on the stock behind the rear action screw are obvious. the lack of contact on the flat where the front action screw is located is also obvious. Not seen in this picture, there is zero evidence of recoil lug contact with anything. Wood is missing down the front of the hole for the rear action screw. I think that is a factory screw up or something that happened to it in its long history because near as I can tell there is no need for it to be missing for clearance reasons. I'll epoxy an aluminum pillar in there ~ 1/2" in diameter. This should be a fun project. I'm going to go ahead and bed it before I do anything to the barrel and chamber. If all goes well I'll get time to work on it Wednesday or Thursday. Fitch [/QUOTE]
