I have a rifle that is giving me some issues and I suspect a stock fit problem. It's an savage with the el-cheapo plastic stock. Most such stocks have served their purpose for me so far.

So, how do I check the recoil lug contact with the stock? Same for the pillar bedding? I figure the recoil lug is not making correct contact or the pillars are off causing them to act like a recoil lug.

Inletting black?

yes

Guess I'll try some lipstick.

Dunlap's advice on inletting is something to the effect that more inletting jobs have been ruined by trying to get the recoil lug perfect than anything.

IIRC.

LOL.

It's been a while, but I think he advised using a piece of clay, or something like that, to find out how the lug fits the stock.

It ain’t all the difficult to cut some stock material away and glass bed the back of the lug so you know for certain how it fits.

Rick, that is my solution anymore. I can get a very good fit without it, but it seems like you can always improve on it, if even just a bit. In the long run it is far quicker and better to glass it.

BTW, I was going to just say "yes" but that option was already taken.

On another note, I have not seen the bore sighting gizmo yet.

Chic,

Sorry about that brother, I brought it to the show in Reno...but guess who was a no-show!

Anyway, I’ll send up the proto-type but you have to share it with Bill Soverns. Between the two of you I’m sure you can come up with a bunch of reasons why I’m wasting my time with it. When you see Bill ask him to show you the slick 3rd-Leg I sent him. I might start producing those suckers also in my copious amounts of spare time!

I’m still waiting for Dave Kiff to finish the specialized tooling (cutters) I need to mass produce the laser tools. Once I get the cutters I can pump them out pretty quick I think.
