Gunsmithing Old stock, new action.

[Julle]

Is there any way I can fill up a McMillan A5 stock and redo the inletting for different action? My case would be getting the stock from Tikka M595 and inletting it for Tikka T3.

Thanks guys!

Why not sell the old and buy new?

That was the plan. But the M595 "upgrade" parts are not so wanted stuff around here... So the refill/inletting just crossed my mind.

Chad Dixon at long rifles inc. can do it for you I'm sure.

I'm sure he could, his work is awesome. Too bad I live in another country...

Call mcmilan and ask.

The stock can be re-filled with epoxy and the action inlet re-done. It's easier with a CNC, but perfectly doable on manual machines especially if you plan to glass bed the rifle into the stock.

I've done a complete rework from a SA Remington 700 to a LA flat bottomed target receiver. The biggest part is just making sure the trigger location is correct for the shooter.
