[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 23445, member: 25"] Milanuk, I am certainly not a stockfixer but the more I see pros work on composite stocks the more some of their work reminds me of auto-body repairmen. They grind, file, fill, spray, build-up, take-down and generally do things that are not feasable with wooden stocks. Boo-boos are usually not a big deal as you can fill or whatever and re-paint. Saw some photos of some really beat-up composite stocks that were returned to like-new condition. The A-2 or A-3 is the way to go since McMillan will give you whatever length of pull you need. Unfortunately there might be a fair difference between what you could get for a used 40x stock and a new A-series. Sounds like there is nothing stopping you from making that 40x stock fit right. It is most likely a McMillan so you are working from a good base. Same goes for the trigger-guard exchange. Brownells no doubt sells any parts you need and would probably advise you as to how to make the swap. [/QUOTE]
