About how many tubes of epoxy does it take to do this?

[fgw_in_fla]

ALRIGHT RICH!!>>>!!!!!!!!<<<<<<


Looks great!
Nice job on the reinforcement work. I'm sure by now you've noticed it feels a lot more like a rifle & less like trying to shoot a water balloon.

Nicely done.

We're all still waiting to see those one hole groups. We'll even settle for a tight looking buckshot pattern, as long as we know it's shooting better...

Good luck with it.

fla9-40 - If you have an Ace Hardware nearby, they have a package of quick set epoxy that's just enough to do 1 stock as long as your not wasteful. It's not too awfully expensive, too.

They're about 6" long with 2 tubes per package - one tube hardener - one tube of the other stuff I can't remember the name of & I'm too tired to get up & look....

JB Weld also makes a good one,too. They have a 5 min. epoxy that works quite well but it's a few pennies more.

The only one that didn;t work at all was PC7. It was really Elsuckerooni. The workability of the product was hard & it took all night to set and another day to harden. It pulled away from the stock the first time I used it.

Frank I used the Loctite, I hava an account at one of the indutrial supply houses. May have paid more than I should have but the company paid for it anyway !!. I finaly have been able to upload pictures. Take a look at the RIMFIRE thread, I uploaded some pics of the new Boyd's Baracuda stock I ordered for my 22 MKII, it fit perfectly with no in-letting whatsoever.

[Richard Giguere]

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.

Thanks, and please enlighten me, what is a " tang" I hope it is not what I used to drink when I was a kid..? seriously, I can take a peice of paper and run it under the barell it seems all free and clear .

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.
