Thanks hillbill !!! I wasnt sure getting this extensive with the changes to make this possible for a full shank #6 muzzleloader build . Its the only way i can see to do a SA build in a stock such as this is to use a LA magnum barrel contour stock . The sides of a Sa stock of these slim proportions would get ground thru by the barrel channel widening for a full shank #6 contour . A La gives it the needed room with the magnum channel to Just make it in there . Fortuneately for me one just so happened to fall out of the sky , almost litterly !!! Thanks again for the reply .

Beautiful craftmanship hillbill !!! I will put Much of what you shown here into use . The extra taping ideas definately were the necessity for the mother of invention . Youve thought pretty hard about your process . Well done and with style !!! I just picked up a carbon fiber ultralite sheep rifle stock of 20oz and will be doing it . A Unbelieveable deal !!! But it has come with a hitch , its long action Adl . I have a Sa . Ive ordered a adjustable pillar set to move the front screw from 7 3/8 to 6 1/2 into the mag well which will be filled . Carbon fiber arrow shafts sealed hollow and epoxy taking up the majority of space is the plan for a eventual full length bed . I have a brass bushing for the front triggerguard screw . 3 or 4 steps im sure in all . A little coaxing will have the #6 Brux into the magnum barrel channel just barely !!! It would be pretty well impossible without the space increase of nearly an inch for the 1.250 shank and the taper moved rearward in a thin forend . I can see no other way to use a full shank barrel in a truly ultra-light weight stock with slim contours than what im up to short of custom made . The lug falls into the old front screw location and will be bedded and filled appropriately . A piece of tape on the outside with epoxy will deal with the hole smoothing it . I could never afford this stock any other way than it happened to come along right now and without this bright(?) idea to do this . It retailed for more than my target action and barrel together and is brand new !!! Should i trust the adhesion of JB Weld 24hr epoxy or Devcon to bond to this mag well to secure the pillar ?? Carbon fiber specific adhesives are tremendously expensive . This IS a bit more involved than a bed job . I plan to have the bottom adjuster on the "Inside" of the mag well . Only a hole for the screw access will be there . Ive considered a crossbolt behind the pillar as well and one to the rear of the mag well too for insurance - just because !!! Any insight would be appreciated . Thanks in advance . It also has a rubber butt plate , no pad . Ive no idea what i will find in there when its cut for a kick-eez with LOP adjusted . Ive never worked with carbon fiber stock or any quite like this . Have you found yourself in these shoes before ?? Thank you again for any insights . This will be for a 40 , primarily using a max loading of 275gr bullets around 2900 or so . No more bullet or velocity than that !!! I truly expect 240 or 250gr to be plenty and used most at similar velocity . I addressed hillbill but if anyone has something to add feel free to do so . Helpfull opinions are welcome . Ok i figured id follow up on this as many of you no doubt wondered how in the world is he gonna place that front action screw ACCURATELY with a completely filled ADL mag well ?? SA from a LA lug placement too ?? LOL !!! I know ya did !!! 4-D reamer rentals has a jig for drilling stocks for pillars straight and properly placed from HighScore . Locate off the rear action screw hole and drill thru WITH A HAND DRILL NO LESS and its ready for pillars now too . Works Gooood !!! Follow Hillbills advice for pillar install . The SA recoil lug will sit Exactly where the LA front action screw hole was . Drill out the slot oversized and fill it in when doing bedding for it . A 5 inch shanked #6 Brux 1.250" will fit in a slim light sporter profile stock without sanding through the forend sides for lighter weight builds inexpensively . Factory Remington ADL sporter stocks or aftermarket ADL sporter stocks . SA stocks are often much more expensive used or not to be had . LA stocks seemed to be everywhere and Much Cheaper !!! Besides they work with big shanks otherwise impossible with a SA sporter stock . Youll also be able to be fully bedded like a target stock with a extremely rigid platfom to rest upon . No Flex at all . No Breakage . No crossbolts required . A 6 inch 5/16 threaded rod epoxyied in thru the grip area on wooden stocks finishes a Truly Rugged Platform . Ive done 2 like this so far , 1 carbon fiber and another Beautiful tiger striped Walnut , And Its Worth It !!!
