i just got a new B&C stock for my M700 ADL with a sporter barrel. I read or heard somewhere that on sporter barrel you do not free float them. They need to rest on the pads at the front of the barrel channel. im having to sand the new stock down to make the action and barrell fit just dont want to sand down to much.

Re: free float on an ADL
Some need pressure. Some don't. Start with pressure. Shoot it. If lousy, remove the pressure and re-fire.

Re: free float on an ADL
The pressure pad in my factory stock wasn't a problem when shooting off a bulls bag, supporting the gun under the lug area. When I switched to a bipod it became a big problem. I floated the barrel and reenforced the fore-end to keep it from flexing up and it went back to shooting great.
