[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2029462, member: 78569"] I thought about doing a mold where I would use expanding foam to pressurize it. I have an ultralight MPI stock and it appears it is set up for that method. However, I decided to go with a foam core with the expectation of using vacuum bagging to expel excess epoxy. Epoxy is where the weight is. I planning to do the sleeve method as it make more sense from a strength perspective...and may be easier/quicker to layup. I'm currently planning to use an aluminum model of the action and bottom metal area. I'm assuming when I vacuum bag, it will create a tight fit up and no trimming around the bottom metal area will be required. The MPI stock has a lot of epoxy around the action area which I plan to try and limit with this method. Its all theoretical at this point. It may not be the quickest method to start up but it should be pretty quick to use once setup. I also want to make CF magazines like Seekins [/QUOTE]
