[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 416731, member: 4191"] The dollar bill test is nice for looks, but useless for functionality. Put some sand paper to that barrel channel and open it up until it passes the 5-one dollar bill test. Five one dollar bills stacked together, or five sheets of standard writing paper. You want enough of a space between the stock and the barrel so the barrel never touches the stock under any positions or conditions of fire. That barrel touches the stock as the bullets in motion down the barrel and there's no way to know where that bullet will impact - compared to the barrel not making contact with the stock. I believe your stock is pretty stout/stiff - which is why five thicknesses of paper is likely to enough clearance. Some of the cheaper plastic Tupperware stocks require even greater separation from the barrel because they'll flex and bend so much more easily. Put a spittin' gap in that stock all around that barrel - a little larger toward the end of the stock than near the receiver. [/QUOTE]
