I after thinking about it a long time, have decided to take on a daring project, some will say a dangerous suicide mission, a mission that is a waist of time and too risky to attempt
REINFORCEMENT OF THE SPS POLICE/ TACTICAL/ ACC-SD STOCK....DUN DUN DUN ....DUNNNNNN
EQUIPMENT FOR THIS MISSION:
KIWI NEUTRAL POLISH ( RELEASE AGENT )
DUCK TAPE
MASKING TAPE
MODELING CLAY
ALLEN 5/32
DEVCON 10110 OR MARINE TEX GRAY
A LADDER (OPTIONAL)
2X STRAPS (OPTIONAL)
A MILK CRATE (OPTIONAL)
But seriously I do have a stock on order but back-ordered, was going to go with B&C but i think i want to stay with the Tac-21. so in the mean time me and my 6 yr old daughter decided we would walk in the valley of the crazy and desunial and try to fix the flexibility problem of the stock that comes with it from the factory.
as we all know it is flimsy and when you use a shooting bag or bi-pod the end of the stock touches the barrel making for crazy stuff to happen
so lets jump in to it
we working on a Rem 700 sps ACC_SD as seen here
when we removed the stock we took a straight edge and laid on the stock for-end and checked if the stock had a percent of bend, it did not so we checked the barrel valley and from the factory it did not look promising.
we made a jig to apply a small amount of pressure to bend the stock in the opposite direction of the bend that the bi-pod would put on it if it was in action at the range, in our case put on the stock on a jig and this is what we came up with, as seen in pic 1
now this jig is designed that the front is held in potion with strap, this is not to be adjusted. the rear strap is weighted, in this case 18 lbs is put on here and the further away we put the strap it will induce more of a weight and their fore put more pressure, or bend in the stock. we checked with straight edge to get our ruff estimation. our goal was a .015 deflection at the tip of the for-end
ass seen here the reinforcing webbing here is not that grate, actually the webbing on my 770 is much much better!
we used modeling clay to cover the sling adapter nut just to make sure i used a release agent on a .308 case and covered it so that no beading compound would get in their and prevent me from accessing the nut just in case i needed to change something up, as well as damning up the webbing here to prevent any going past as well, i would not need this i found out later on but we will get to that
using a aul i picked up from harbor freight i ruffed up the area i will be applying to the compound to stiffen up the stock.
and then applied the devcon 10110 to the area
to ensure their would not be a clearance problem i applied a coat of release agent to the entire barrel and a piece of duck tape as well. also i used this time to bead the recoil lug in to the stock applying a good coat of release agent to the action side of the lug and a piece of auto masking tape to the sides and the barrel of the lug.
and set the barrel back in to the stock and tuqued the barrel back in to the stock 1/2 of the setting from Remington. i did not apply any beading compound to the action as the ACC_SA id a pillar beading system and a full polymer block beading system their is not a real need for beading and also this is just the stock i will be using till i get my Tac-21 stock.
the finish set up looks like this....
