Fiberglass stock inletting fill question. - 08/04/11
I'm getting a rifle with a lightweight FG stock which was never properly inletted for the action. There are gaps in the stock to metal fit throughout. The stock was also never painted.
I'm thinking I'll use AcraGlas Gel for the action area first to establish a solid bed.
I'd then like to fill the gaps in the barrel channel with a much lighter material. I'm thinking regular AcraGlas mixed with microballoons to reduce the weight compared to solid epoxy.
Is there an alternate lightweight material for filling the barrel channel which sands and takes paint well?
Lightweight body filler perhaps?
What's worked well for you?
Light weight is paramount since this is to be my walking rifle and the weight is the reason I purchased a small LH Kimber 84 in the first place.
