[QUOTE="ko1featherweigh, post: 666953, member: 23948"] Update. Since i was set on getting a new stock I pulled the old stock off and was looking at it and thought why don't i try and stiffen up the factory stock for the hell of it. the forearm section of the stock was hollow with horizontal sections. I grounded out all the horizontal sections till it was one big open cavity. i took some thin flat aluminum ( it think it was from an old window) and epoxied the two pieces to the two sides of the cavity of the stock. then roughed up the stock and bedded the recoil lug and the first 2 inches of the barrel. To my surprise it turned out pretty good. the fore end of the stock is now stiffer and it is much harder to flex the stock to where it touches the barrel. its nothing pretty, added some weight, and i question how well the bedding material will hold to the stock but i was really surprised. going to take the rifle out some time this week to see if accuracy has improved at all. I still plan on getting a new stock, just playing around with the old paddle stock. didn't take any pictures just happened out of curiosity but if the range report looks good i may take some pictures.
