I have 7 rifles in Brown precision stocks and have never had a problem. 2 Weeks ago I picked up a just finished m700 with a 2# Lilja bbl in a pounder. Yesterday after putting a scope on the rifle I noticed that the off bolt side's forend was pushing hARD on the end of the barrel. I called the gunsmith(well known on this board) & he said he had sanded that side of the stock once in prep & 1 after painting. He is going to do it again saturday & we discussed glassing under the chamber. Have any of you had simular problems? | ||

Possibly the epoxy didn't cure properly originally or the stock was sitting in sunlight and was heated past 200 degrees which would make it possibly move.I have a Brown kevlar stock that had a slight bend in the barrel chanel-I heated it over a hot air heater before bedding it and it never moved again. The best thing to do is talk to Brown Precision and see what they say about this-I always found them to be very good in dealing with people in the past . | |||

tOok your advice & talked to Mark Brown for about a hour, he said he had never seen a barrel channel warp. The suggested to check tha allignment of the recoil lug. I am going to the gunsmith's shop saturday. | |||

I imagine you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did talking to his father . They always will take the time to talk no matter how busy they are. I glad to see nothing has changed .They have a video with Chet showing how to work on stocks and bedding-you would enjoy this I believe. I remember some very good articles in the early Precision Shooting magazine on the trials and trouble in making these first stocks with Lee Six. Good people. Glenn | |||
