Just wondering how the pros do it. In the past, I have cut down the receiver tang such that a relief in the stock (for the cocking piece, when working the bolt) was not needed. But now, I really like the way the grip area looks, currently with a relief slot; if I shave that much wood off, it will look really thinned out. Is this a no-no on a high grade gun, or can I leave it with the relief groove in the stock? Todd | ||

Todd, I would think, since they ride pretty close, that you would want to clean this up... My 376, i just sanded and sanded until it looked right... this on your 7x57? jeffe [ 02-22-2003, 07:51: Message edited by: jeffeosso ] | |||

Todd, Ive done it both ways. On a high comb stock, I can't see any other way around it. | |||

Todd, it is not a no-no to have the slot in the wood. I just don't like it so I always grind the rear tang so it disappears. This also allows you to round the top surface of the tang and make it blend better. | |||
