[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 136212, member: 8843"] What I did to the first synthetic forend like you have was bed the whole area between the screws and releaved everything around it. This adds a good bit of weight though if you use Steel bed bedding compound. Another option you have is to cut the rib down some and fill the area partialy with bedding compound , that will help with some strength also. In short , yes if you leave the rib alone like it is then your going to have a third pressure point , will it hurt , I can't say for sure. If you remove it then your going to have atwo flat surfaces trying to sit tight on a round barrel that could lead to the forend leaning to one side or the other. You could sand the pillers to make them fit the barrel or cut a small V in the center to keep the barrel centered. Personaly I like to fill the entire forend with bedding to make it stiff as possible then I piller bed the screws with aluminum pillers. [/QUOTE]
