My builder project (Bighorn)

[usmc74]

I got a Boyds lightweight thumbhole stock for Christmas from my kids.

Didn't like how the action screw went through it, so decided to install a pillar.

View of the 1/4" this wood to support the action screw (why I didn't like it):


Bored out the hole to 9/16" and Devcon epoxy glued the 1/2" aluminum pillar into place.  Then Devcon bedded the action:

That really looks like a very neat job. Great work!!

First time doing either, pillars or bedding.  I'm happy with the results.
