About LinkBacksI, like many of you have a problem,
I don't like how floppy my synthetic tikka stock is. I had a plan of buying a B&C stock in the states for cheap and bringing it back. Minimal gain in weight and a fantastic stock for a few hundred dollars. I have since found out that as a firearm part they may be difficult to bring out in checked luggage.
Who h as done a DIY job on eliminating forend flex using the TBR stuff, arrow shafts, whatever... Could you post some pics. I need to bed it too and I dunno how that will go but should be a good learning curve.

Lured into this thread under false pretences. Well done on the double entendre title

What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

OOHHH, me too, i would like to 'stiffen up my forend', of my rifle, that is!...Stevens 200 synthetic, supposed to be 'free floating' but depending on the grip, it can/will touch the barrel..
ive heard it done with carbon fibre arrow shafts too.....

i tryed with my sps remington stock, i had it bedded, then I stiffened the forend with newtech.
it worked fine, the gun shot great. I still replaced it with a boyds laminate.
the problem isnt the stock its in your head. go out and get the B&C from DED
bedding + stuff to stiffen forend + time for something you wont even be happy with.....

Just by the B&C off Brownells. Export permits are easy to get.

I used balistic researchs for end stiffening compound in a factory 595 stock. It did help but still no where near as stiff as the Sakos walnut.
If i did it again i would cram as many carbon arrow shafts in there as i could and use the compound to hold it together.
Or just get a carbon stock
