[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 510277, member: 2011"] Not to argue but as I'm a little different:) The ADL is a fun and inexpensive stock to work with. I've had great success with them. Messed up a few with various experiments but after the experiments/development of techniques things have worked out very well. I do the following. [LIST] [*]Get rid of the finish. [*]Free float the barrel or open the barrel channel for a heavier barrel [*]Remove 'finish' where skim bedding material would go. Remove as much as you wish leaving a bridge to maintain the original configuration. [*]Piller then skim bed [*]If forearm is to remain as is, if there is checkering, fill the checkering. Bondo works good for this. [*]If forearm is to be made flat bottomed (bag rider) Bondo works well for that also. [*]Bondo also works well for straightening the pistol grip. I like a more straight grip. In fact without bondo and super glue I couldn't do a thing:rolleyes: [/LIST] You can fiddle around as much as you like and come up with a truly custom configuration that will be fitted to you specifically rather than have a standard custom stock that is mass produced that you have to adjust yourself to. It's quite fun. My decision point as to whether I go my way or trebark's way is based on whether I have more money than time or more time than money.:) [/QUOTE]
