Ok, so I had the day off and plenty of free time and after some southern ingenuity I have the stock back together.
Here is a teaser

Clean your toe nails.
Did you use a piece of steel rod in the "area in question"?
Otherwise it resembles an Axis again instead of something you'd use to stick up a 7-11...
PS - Where'd you get that bolt handle from?

Yes I used threaded steel rod around the in hopes the threads would hold more bite and keep it together.
I ordered the knob off of ebay a while back

Hi Frank. Man, it been too cold to shoot recently.
I have reinforced several Axis stocks, but reading your excellent post, I loved the idea of drilling the wall forward of the recoil lug. Not to try to out do you (ha ha), I just completed another stock.
The only thing I did differently was:
1. Used the bar stock bent and pointed, heated with a propane torch, instead of a drill. Also used it to melt the cross walls. Plus a few small holes in the center channel to give the resin a place to grip.
2. Used Bondo liquid fiberglass resin instead of epoxy. Much easier to mix and pour from a paper cup.
Keep up the great posts (with your sense of humor!)
Folks should remember to clean the inside of the stockwith a good solvent to remove the mold release, in addition to roughing up the inside.

I've mentioned a few times on here...
If you have a better / stronger way to make it happen, don't keep it to yourself.
Share the wealth.
I'll have to try that next time. Sounds a whole lot easier than drill & glue.
Too cold to shoot???
I just got home from our swamp. My feet hurt from hiking, all my rifles need cleaning, I have to make more ammo to replace what we used, fishing poles need to be cleaned & stowed, boots are wet from stomping thru the swamp, tired, dirty,.... Shall I go on?
I love winter in Fla.

Hey sarge...
I assure you, with 2 of the grandkids with us & teaching them shooting, fishing, hiking without getting too lost, cooking with fire & all the other important stuff essential for a fun / safe time. I'd rather be working.
It's less stress.
By the way, got a pics of the area to put up later.
As soon as I find the camera.

i just did this to my stock today and i must say wow it helps alot. thanks for the idea. but instead of using great stuff in the stock bc mine wouldn't dry i filled the whole in the end at the end of the stock where the trigger cover goes in, i filled that in with epoxy then i filled the stock up with sand and packed it tight, added the weight i wanted and should help with he recoil.. i also ported the barrel so thats another thing i did to

Have you ever thought about a video?

Yeah, thought about it but, I'm the least computer knowledgeable guy you'll meet. I hate cell phones, I-pads, computers, digital cameras, garage door openers.... For me to get pictures from a camera I hate into a laptop I hate even more & posted was quite an accomplishment for me.
Besides, modifying these stocks is a pretty cut & dried process. So easy, an Axis owner can do it. The extra reinforcement will help a lot if you shoot from a bipod & will help while you shop and / or save for a upgrade stock.

Hey guys,
I searched the thread and didn't have any luck. Maybe I'm not using the right key word search.
i need to remove the butt pad to fill/strengthen the stock. I just looked and there aren't screws so I figure there are some type of clips holding the pad on? Can someone walk me through removing the pad so I can reinstall it without damaging it?

The swivel stud in the bottom acts as a screw and there is a slot tab on the top which locks it into place. Be careful with the slot tab--it's easy to break (I've broken all of mine).

Liquid Nails is a premium grade, solvent based, synthetic rubbermultipurpose construction adhesive
Rubber as in "Flexible" . It is by nature, designed to allow dissimilar construction materials to expand and contract individually without shearing away from each other. The other issue that crops up, it does not dry/Cure properly in thick layers. You would need to apply many thin layers and allow each to cure before applying the next layer.

AND....
If you fill the stock with it (Liquid Nail) and close it up it'll never harden hence, if you ever open it up, you will have a mess to contend with...
Don't ask me how I know this. Just take it for granted.
