[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1698042, member: 110162"] I ve used whatever is laying around over the years to make pillars. Last I made myself was out of an old aluminum bow stabilizer. Just cut and ground and drilled till I had 2 serviceable pieces. The last one I did, and yes, it was on a Boyd's featherweight laminated thumbhole stock, I used a premade set that I liked a lot. It's made by score high and is contoured to fit the curvature of the action, but the thing I really liked was the pillar inside a pillar design. Each pillar is 2 pieces and threaded so the inside piece screws into the outer . It allows exact length adjustment for your stock. Just a little thing that makes it easier to get the pillars just right. The pillar/ glass bed job turned out as perfect as I've seen , with no binding and solid, flat engagement with both action screws. I'm as DIY as it gets and seldom do I give much thought or credit to a ready made gadget to help with a project, but those pillars are worth the extra coin, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
