I need your guys help anyone Savage guys Stock builders modifiers etc
I had a Savage MKII BV Hvy barell standard stock well yesterday my buddy decided to sell his Savage 93 17hmr I tossed the lure to him of swapping stocks he had a thumbhole and I wanted one He bit and we swapped stocks His action fit right in the BV stock and I thought my Action fit right in the thumbhole stock we shot a few rounds and he left the range well something about mine didt look right and I figured out what it was My action has got one hell of a free float job on it I can fit my pinky between the bottom of the barrel and the stock Caused by this problem .....
The area cutout for magwell has a lil stepup where the action screw comes up through the stock and into the action post I know its a easy fix but I have 3 options which would be the best
1 swap front action posts if he still has the gun
2 dremel out a lil bit of that step up using a rounded or tapered bit so the post sits in stock correctly obviously using low speed and slowly removing material
3 drill out some of the step up with drill bit one size larger than action post and drill but drill bit is tapered and action post wont have flat spot to sit on
These are the possible fixes I have anyone have anything better or have advice on the best way to take care of this Im open to Ideas and help
