KRG Bravo Finger Bite

[Llamas Waffles]

Hello all! Did a search and couldn't find anything really about this. Have KRG Bravos for three of my rifles (PRS/NRL/.22) and love them. For reference, I've been using the Bravo chassis for over 6 years and have no intentions to change but I've consistently had a hot spot on my middle finger from a part of the design right between the trigger guard and the grip. Because if how the action screw seats, the gap where the screw goes in lends itself to a couple pressure points. Normally I just wear a band-aid to help prevent the issue, but a more permanent solution would be nice. Pictures below to show the area in question.

I'm sure I can finagle a solution, but wanted to see if anyone else has this issue and what they may have done to alleviate it. Thanks in advance!

Had a similar issue on a McMillan - I filled the spot with Play-Do and ran a narrow strip of moleskin over it. That way if I need to remove the stock and access the screw I can just peel the moleskin and dig the Play-do out. As always, YMMV. Good luck.

Hadn't thought of Play-Do, I may have to try that since it dries up and is removable. Thanks!

I used the clear silicone ear plugs from a local drug store.

There’s a little known and seldom seen product on the market that alleviates this and many other issues. It’s available through direct sales and at retailers around the country. Made of Micarta, engineered for both form and function, it’s one of the most popular products to allow a shooter to avoid “hotspots”. You’ll be able to remove playdough, silicone earplugs, bandaids and other compromises from your shooting kit altogether!

According to their marketing:

“Does your middle finger chafe your trigger guard like a 16 year old getting to 3rd base? Go be poor somewhere else!

Foundation Stocks. Everything a KRG can never dream of being.”

Feel less, see more as they say.

You can move the trigger guard rearward a little bit but you have to remove the barreled action from the chassis.
