Stock wall thickness

Post by mcgyvermark »

For those who have taken the stock off, how thick is the material in the area below the safety? There is a relatively sharp corner that makes the grip a bit uncomfortable. When hunting with gloves there should be no issue but I notice after about a 45 minutes of target practice the trigger hand starts to feel it bite.

I'm thinking about sanding or filing a radius to smooth out the corners, but I don't want to break through or otherwise weaken the stock. Is anyone familiar with how well the synthetic stock material sands, carves, and accepts paint? I know this will bugger up the pretty camo, but I just don't want to compromise the structural integrity of the stock in that area. I figure that this would be an easier and less expensive than the ultimate solution of a custom stock :? :?

No worries Mark, you can take that edge and sand it down or round it to be more comfortable. Some black and brown marker and nobody will ever know.
