Well I found that it took about 4.5 ounces of epoxy and 4.5 ounces of hardener for a total of 9 ounces. I filled all the voids and also the trigger guard assembly.
About how many tubes of epoxy does it take to do this?

Richard, good job on the stiffening and the pics! looks like everything came out alright. make sure you have space on both sides of the barrel and the tang area is free floated as well. good luck and enjoy your rifle.

yeah, one of my ffavorite drinks too! the tang area is the portiion where the safety is located, that triangular shaped area should be free floated as well.
