[QUOTE="Doublezranch, post: 1591969, member: 32664"] Something to look at before getting started. Do you have enough forearm to create a barrel channel wide and deep enough to properly fit and free float the barrel. I have fit and shaped many laminated wood stocks. I usually start with a 3 inch forearm and decide how much wood to leave depending on the barrel contour and the caliber of the gun. Larger caliber, the more wood I leave for strength. The long and short answer to your question is, yes it can be done. However, you may have to modify the stocks forearm so much that it will weaken the construct of the rifle. Here are a couple if done... [/QUOTE]
