My current project to-do list includes a full length bedding job. I will try either Marine Tex gray or Devcon 10110.
Before I go there, I have a couple of things I would like to try:
1. Adjustable aluminum pillars. Any suggestions?
2. Potentially dremel the fore end of the stock and insert some old Beman ICS Hunter 400 broken shafts to stiffen the fore end.
Anyone have examples of either or both?
What am I up to?
I have a sacrificial old Remington 700 tupperware plastic stock ... The rifle that this stock came with is sitting in a McMillan stock now so no harm, no foul if this project fails.
Continuing with my paint job on-going (waiting for the Montana Black webbing paint) and I have filled the hollow part of stock with foam now.
I used the 3#/cubic ft variety of Smooth-On's product for the fill on the current project. I wish I'd used a heavier density rather than minimized weight for a couple of reasons (hard to get the precise volume but I had some HD foam that I used to top it off as well as the denser foam would have done better at eliminated the hollow sound when you knock on the stock).
I have another 700 LSS 7mm RM that I bought with an SPS BDL stock that the guy was going to use for a project. The lessons learned here will likely eventually go into giving my a second option for that rifle - it is a great shooter that does not get the work it deserves as I baby that laminate stock.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
