Thread: New lightweight stock

There were a number of issues with this design, some which were expected, some not:

• I got the palm swell bit really wrong - this required a fair bit of filing & adjustment. Unfortunately this resulted in breaking into the internal void - not a huge issue, as the inside is sealed before the halves were glued together.
• The foreend was REALLY hollow - fine as far as deflection & stiffness, but it had the result of resonating when you cycled the bolt
• I also screwed a sling stud into this, which obviously ripped out after not very long
• The LOP was a little short, so I added a big dumb heavy bit to the back
• The comb height was too low - something I reckon I should fix with the stock design, rather than the rough foam & tape solution

So, on with redesigning for the P2 prototype:

Let me know when you have made one for a rem model 7
