can the mcmillan stocks be inletted further to accomodate a bigger barrel? I noticed that jwprecision has the a5s but they're for varmint contour and I know when they leave the factory it has an enamel around the fiberglass. Will milling into this enamel compromise the integrity of the stock?


also can a limbsaver grind-to-fit pad be installed on an adjustable system?
 
Re: inletting McMillan a5

Just do it yourself. There is nothing in the barrel channel after inletting so opening it up isn't going to change anything.

Some will use a dowel, some sandpaper, and some elbow grease. I have also seen some use deep well sockets and sandpaper.
