[QUOTE="oregonreloader, post: 908011, member: 71958"] [B]Ricky[/B]...I didn't make any measurements on the old stock, so all I can give you here about the differences between the old and the new stocks are 'recollections and impressions'. (I'm kicking myself that I didn't make any actual measurements.) I was expecting to see a different web design in the forend. The old webbing was a rectilinear grid of (about) 1/16" thick plastic, with one central spar running fore-aft and several transverse ribs between the chamber and muzzle ends of the forearm. But the new stock looks to be the same, albeit it's more rigid and has a lot less flex. Sighting along the "gunnel line" (nautical term; it's the best description I can think of.... I'm referring to the top of the forend between the chamber and muzzle end) shows no curvature. It's dead straight. But something "looked different" and it took me awhile to figure out what it was. I think the extra rigidity is created by an increased thickness in the forend material itself. There is less volume in the forend for the webbing and (I think) that's a result of a thicker forend. That would explain the increased stiffness of the forend. [B]Dave[/B]...we will all look forward to your report on 20gn vs 25gn and factory vs Boyd's stocks. Bundle up, boy, and go get that data!
