[QUOTE="philip140, post: 579192, member: 29633"] Yes the pillars are there to prevent stock compression and to prevent the stock changing the rifles POI as the wood expands/contracts. In answer to your second question, the pillars are in full contact with both the reciever and the bottom metal, that part is critical. Yes the properties of the different materials used in the process will expand/contract at different rates, but nowhere near the same as wood which is the most important aspect in getting consistant accuracy with a wood stocked rifle. I would not consider it an issue. Lastly, the measurement for the final length of the pillars is determined after the barrel tape is applied, then 0.005'' is added to that number to ensure all metal to metal contact. Phil [/QUOTE]
