[slipp]

has anyone converted a right hand b@c stock to lefty pics would be nice and the materials used will help

Or, as an alternative, I have a Choate ultimate Varmint stock for the 4.275" bolt spacing short action in LH that could use a new home, if intersted.

I put a right hand Duramax on a 10 FLP a while back, which wasn't too hard. Ground out the new bolt notch with a dremel, filled the old notch by putting masking tape on each side of the notch and pouring in black dyed epoxy (Acraglass, I think) to fill it. Drilled a couple small holes in the interior of the old notch to give the epoxy something to grab onto, as well. I didn't take a lot of pictures during the job, unfortunately.

I'm midway through doing a Carbelite for a 110 and a Boyds for a 93R17 using the same method, but don't have any pictures of them. I've filled the old notch on the 110, but haven't ground the new one since the action isn't ready to install yet. I used leftover Devcon Steel putty epoxy leftover from a couple bedding jobs for this one, JB Weld on the 93R17.

The 93R17 is going to take more inletting work than the centerfires. The 10/110 receiver doesn't have any dimensional differences that I could find below the stock line between left and right hand. The rimfires do, so it's going to take more to accomplish.

Easier than becoming right handed, though. 8)
