Well...it certainly isn't going to win any beauty contests, but I've seen far worse! How's the fitment (aside from looking pretty rough around the edges)?
Did you confront your smith about it? Any hope of getting him to step up or are you stuck (other than not using him for future inletting jobs)?

McMillan will send you a patch kit with the colors. You can make it look good as new.

I started bedding the DBM's for 100% contact a while back. I like that route much better.

Ouch. Dremel?
Bed it and forget it, unfortunately, not much else to do at this point. Take the proper time and prep work, You will be able to get it to turn out great.

I have the kit and colors now. Send the rifle and I'll bed the DBM for 100% full contact and check F&F instead.

William,
will you post some before and after pics of the patch up job you do?
That would be stellar

Looks more like a RotoZip to me. One with a dull bit.
I have tossed around the idea of trying my hand at inletting a stock for a DBM and decided I'd rather pay the extra money and send it to a pro to have it done right. If that was what I got for my money, I'd be more than a little disappointed.
I'm not saying it's horrible, but it's definitely not a "professional job".

Re: do inletting jobs get much worse than this?
I've seen worse. Not that I would be happy with or accept that job either but I've seen worse. Trust me, there's always something/someone worse. I would steer clear of that guy for sure though.

Mr Roscoe is quite the gentleman, most charge extra to fix things buggered up by others.
Looks fine to me, but I tend to shoot mine rather than stare at them.......

Re: do inletting jobs get much worse than this?
Well McMillan never seems to get them perfect for me either. My FN SPR build stocks had some issues. My heavy barrel stock was inletted wrong, the bottom metal was high on one end that was no where close to being right. We milled it out and bedded it.
After we did the job I'm thinking they inletted for aftermarket metal and not the factory DBM as ordered.
My other rifle, I got a chip out of the gelcoat when I tapped the bottom metal out despite my taping and release agent.

Re: do inletting jobs get much worse than this?
Badger Ordnance does a fine job. I sent them one and it had to
be done on a CNC because it was flawless. I didn't feel like
doing it on a manual mill (that I had to drive an hour to use)
and then bedding it to make it look perfect.

Re: do inletting jobs get much worse than this?
Looks like an inlet job I saw once. Another Hide member had his Ti stock inletted for HS Precision BM and the gunsmith screwed it up something terrible. It was so bad that the gunsmith finally mailed back the stock and bottom metal loose in a box to my buddy and didn't charge him anything, except my buddy had to buy a new stock.

At least he didn't mill down the bottom metal...

Re: do inletting jobs get much worse than this?
Easy fix!!!! Just bed it and it will be good as new. If it were mine I would even it up all the way around and then bed it.
