    From Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist to McMillan A5 . . . my stab at stock modification.

    Sorry these are pretty bad pics. I did not finish mine with Bondo like yours so you can see where the void was pretty well. The last pic kind of shows some of the paper towels that are stuffed behind the masking tape toward the recoil pad.

    From Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist to McMillan A5 . . . my stab at stock modification.

    Just did this mod a couple days ago after reading this post. One thing I would like to mention is how the void may not be in the exact same depths stock to stock. I cut my cheek piece to about 1". At the depth I was in the void completely were the rear adjustment collar was going. I stuffed...

    Hogue Over-mold Stock Mod - Pistol Grip Extension

    Kydex can be remolded. Just be careful because you can over heat the kydex and cause it to melt slightly. 225 F is usually a good temperature to work at if you can control it, or if you have a heat gun then warm the kydex until it is malleable.

    Hogue Over-mold Stock Mod - Pistol Grip Extension

    Thanks all, I was considering the steel epoxy to fill the gap. I might try it this weekend. B3dlam, I will probably order some threaded knobs or something lower profile to get rid of the wing nuts. My chin rest right between the two wing nuts so shooting offhand is a no go right now.

    Hogue Over-mold Stock Mod - Pistol Grip Extension

    It feels pretty solid, however a swift smack on concrete would probably loosen it up. I was thinking of adding another dowel post and filing the void with expanding foam or something. As for now I think it will do fine for me.

    Hogue Over-mold Stock Mod - Pistol Grip Extension

    I have recently been getting into bolt rifle shooting. My first purchase was the Remington 700 AAC-SD. This rifle is fairly well known now on the forums so I will skip the details. I wanted to get the most out of the Hogue Over-mold stock. So far I have added a kydex cheek piece and bedded the...

    Gunsmithing hogue stock

    I shimmed my 700 aac for a while. Seemed to help, but ended up doing a bedding job. This took care of the free float issue with that stock.
