Ingwe,
IF you do it, I would be interested in the pics. I picked up a B&C Alaskan a month or so ago to replace an HS Precision stock. The B&C fore end is definitely slimmer than the HS stock (and 6 oz lighter). However, the wrist of the B&C stock is actually thicker than the HS wrist in both dimensions, even tho the B&C is more "open". I had the same thought of going after it with a rasp and some 80 grip sand paper. But wasn't certain what was under the paint...
