Will it squeeze in without any opening up? If not how much relief is needed?

You'll most likely need to open it up a little. I did with my factory KS stock.

Any recommendations on who to send it to to open it up and repaint?

If it is a KS stock for a Remington 700 KS the factory KS barrel contour was between the Mountain Rifle contour and the Sporter contour. Would not take much at all to open it to fit. I would try the barreled action first just in case it may have been a McMillan KS aftermarket stock for a standard barrel.

It has the remington branded recoil pad on it so appears it's a factory ks stock

OP, Do you have the stock in hand? What is the known history of the stock? It does sound as if it is a take off based on the recoil pad. Recall that there is also a magnum ks channel as well, which would not require any opening. Pics would be very helpful.

Didnt pay enough attention to the corners to tell it it's a brown or mcmillan. Did not know of the magnum ks barrel. I'll have to drop a barrel in it next week and see what it reveals. Regardless, it's got some scuffs and needs a paint job.

I can't comment on McMillan but Brown quoted me $125 plus shipping to refinish a stock.

Yes, that sure looks like a takeoff from a mag ks.

That is as stated above. I took one off my early 375 H&H KS and fit a wood ADL to it and traded it away. I had a M700 270 ADL rebored to 338-06 by Cliff LaBounty in 1994. I taped the barrel to allow free float and bedded the barreled action filling the gaps due to the magnum contour. A bit of rattle can and all was good. The rifle wears a 2.5-8X Vari-X III and weighs a hair over seven pounds. A fair bit of game has been taken with it.
