[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 337131, member: 11717"] I have thought about welding or screwing it on but it may be very difficult to weld it precisely to the receiver and fit in its already tight slot in the plastic. I'll talk to the machinist about that to see if he thinks it can be done. I still want to duplicate the existing angle because it all fits very snug, as though it were already bedded. The more I mess around with this stock, the more impressed I am with it. From the grip, forward it is very solid, stable and rigid. With a bipod on it, I hung two 9 lb sand bags off the barrel just forward of the end of the stock and slid a piece of paper between the barrel and the forearm. I did the same with my HS Sendero stock and it faired about as well but no better. On a real warm day it might be a different story. When I put both hands together and squeeze the stock on both sides of the mag opening I get less than a 16th" movement. So I am thinking this stock may be a keeper. The question is whether or not to pillar bed it. My thought is to take one step at a time and see how it goes. I am also just now noticing that the bolt handle is touching the bottom of the slot in the stock and when I dry fire it bounces up slightly. Hmmm... I'll be getting a file on that. [/QUOTE]
