Miguel, that's great news. So if my math is right, you were able to remove the factory pad, then cut 9/16" off the stock butt, which left the solid section about 1/8" thick. Am I reading you right?

I have considered injecting some fairly thin epoxy in through one of the holes in the filler block (into the empty space behind it) using a great big syringe, then standing the stock vertically with the former holes plugged to let it set, to thicken the solid section if needed, but it sounds like maybe it's not.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Rex

P.S. Various issues have kept me from the range to confirm I can get the same kind of groups with hunting bullets as I last got with the SMKs, so I plan to make sure this rifle is going to be a keeper before I do any of this work.
