Adding weight to a stock?

[johnstonblake]

I'm trying to balance out a bolt gun after putting a can on it. I've read about mixing lead shot with marine-tex and putting it inside the stock. What's the best way to go about this? Just take the recoil pad off and start globbing it in there? It's a carbon fiber kimber stock.

Assuming the rear of the stock is hollow using some small plastic baggies to contain the shot will allow you to figure out how much you'll need. The epoxy is going to be lesser amount of weight.

I wonder if it would be better to just spray foam in some bigger lead pieces?

Remove the butt pad, fill cavity with lead shot and epoxy, then install a Limbsaver butt pad, they may make one the fits or you might have to do a grind to fit, either way it’s a fun project that is 100% a waste of time, reason why is you’ll want a better stock like a MPA or MDT.
