Model 7 Stock

[RHoovDawg]

I have a Remington Model 7 that the synthetic stock doesn't fit the action very well. Can I use regular bedding tools to remove material from the stock?

You won't be carving or chiseling a synthetic stock. The process is more like sanding. You might find it harder to work with. A dremel would make short work of it, but beware of power tools in stock work. It is very easy to remove too much with a dremel.

Keep in mind most synthetic stocks are hollow and you don't have to go to deep to get into the internal cavity. Some of these stocks won't adhere to modern glass bed materials so it's harder to build up or bed the injection molded stocks.

done many remington synthetics ...rough sand the areas you're going to bed..then drill small indentions for the expoxy to grab hold of


clean well and have at it
