[QUOTE="Phil3, post: 626320, member: 17575"] I do not think I would need to. I need to check it more carefully to know for sure. Only the front hole needs to be moved or enlarged. The rear lines up fine with the action. I am VERY new at this, but not sure what is meant with "centering" the recoil lug. On a Howa, the lug is part of the action and is a lip that hooks over a corresponding lip on the bedding block. You can see all this here. This is my rifle and stock. [url=http://s832.photobucket.com/albums/zz249/PhilJr/Howa%20223/]Howa 223 pictures by PhilJr - Photobucket[/url] I do understand you are looking to have bedding material between the lug and the bedding block. Plenty of room for that now, there is about 1/16" gap. This stock does not have pillars, but has the aluminum bedding block. I in-large the holes just enough to allow the heat shrink because when the bedding has cured the screws are centered and not touching once the heat shrink has been removed. The front screw rubs against the front side of the hole in the floor plate metal. Not exactly sure why. On top of that, the barrel is just barely misses the left side of the barrel channel, with a big gap on the right side. I guess bedding with barrel centered fixes all that. Just did not expect so much fixing! Phil J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
