[QUOTE="Farmer Rob, post: 719710, member: 40481"] Yes it has been an uphill battle because everyone tells me to stop wasting my time and buy a real rifle and then hands me a rem 700 instead of the part i asked for. What i did to the stock was, looking down from the top of the stock with the action/barrel removed there are "criss crossing" supports but since they are just soft plastic they dont work. So i cut slots in them from front to back down about 2/3's, then at the same level i drilled 2 small holes back into the tongue block, below the receiver. Then i slotted in 2 steel rods into the holes and along the cut out slots and filled the whole thing with fiberglass mat and resin until the barrel will just still float. The trigger i had done by a gunsmith ant he wouldnt bed it because he said the plastic fit was about as good as it gets. Hope this helped as i forgot to take photos Rob [/QUOTE]
