Shortened the foreend to maintain cosmetic looks as stock would appear too long for the 20" barrel. I tried drilling it to no avail, i ended up putting laquer thinner on top of the silicone or whatever it is and slid a steel ruler down the edge of the stock and the material eventually breaking it free. This took abit of time but the laquer thinner helps and acts like a penetrating oil to help release it from the stock. Any thin metal shim should work but it has to be rigid.
On the forestock i moved the stud back 1" as well and filled the orignal hole with glass bedding. The honeycomb is perfect to drop a 10-32 nut and change the front stud from a wood thread to a machine thread. Gun also now sports a Ti bolt handle and Ti action screws.
Will post pics after the 10th as I am using at the moment and dont have time to check zero if i take it apart for pics.
