[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2931456, member: 109917"] After a phone call and a PM from a friend, I am considering repairing this and putting it on a 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and using the stock on the Creedmoor for the PRC. Concerns by both of us that the PRC may be more stressful and create a safety issue. I don't think the way I laid it out in my head would be unsafe. After staring at and measuring two different woven carbon cloths from West Systems, I believe it is Fiberglast brand, one is a 2 over twill and the other is s simple 90º weave. They have a 45º available, I just don't know what to do with 50 linear feet. My goal was to fix the crack and install the pillars on both screws. I plan to use foil peel washers to set the action depth to have it lines on both the action and stock yup with the action to stock lines. The pillars are plenty long and ironically the action screws are 1/4" 28 pitch. I have the proper tools, and a few custom made tools to set the pillars snug against the action. Once they are set, I will apply epoxy to the pillars and stock and allow them to cure. As far as bedding the base of the inlet, I pondered why it had to be epoxy. So, I am going to use carbon fiber and West Systems 205 epoxy, Right or wrong, it should be hella stout. I am all ears to suggestions, including a brass or steel cross pin, really want to avoid that scenario. Thanks for any advice, I really need it [ATTACH=full]504839[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]504840[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
