Can a Kimber Montana stock barrel channel be enlarged?
Can a Kimber Montana stocks barrel channel be enlarged? Below are descriptions of both the original pencil barrel contour and a heavier contour taken from Lilja barrels website.

1) Original Kimber M. 84M 1.050″ for 2.75″ then radius over 2.75″ to .710″ then st. taper .565″ at 22″ (.512″ at 28″, .0088″/inch) 28 2.34 1.25


2) mod84m modified version of km84m above making the muzzle diameter .617″ at 22″ other dimensions remain the same (.583″ at 28″)

Are the Montana stocks forends hollow? Thanks
Matt
