I have a Howa Mini 6mm ARC and have been offered a Stocky’s Carbon Fibre Stock for a good price .
The problem is that the stock is for a Standard contour barrel and mine is a Varmint. ( the Mini Varmint isn’t that big in diameter ) .
I have opened up barrel channels before on other stocks , but have never played with Carbon .
Is there enough meat in the Carbon outer to open up the barrel channel without breaking through to the inner core ?
Anyone done this or have an opinion?
Cheers
Ken
I doubt the barrel channel is lined with carbon fiber anyhow it will just be bare filler so have at it

I’ll try and get hold of the guy ( he’s away at the moment) and ask if the channel is Carbon lined .
The only stocks I have seen that are completely carbon including the barrel channel were the ones Ken Henderson made before his passing. Not sure what they are like now Hardy has them.
Did a howa stock, American may be Alpine, got it from broncos, went though the fibreglass in a few places so had to dig it all out and replace it, fiddly but got there in the end, glad I masked the rest of the stock well though, messy
The Ken one I got was open with no carbon lining. That was before hardy.Quote:
