Foxx & jpdown that's just the info I was looking for. Boyds has just lost me as a customer. Too much to do to adapt my HH to their product. I'm going to go with a B&C M40 or an HS Precision as these are ready for me to send over to CDI for final fitting of Bottom metal and mag. I don't want to screw up a stock by doing a 1st time experiment that I've never done before. Don't know why Boyd's would discontinue the Tacticool or other HH stocks with bottom metal cutouts ? Thanks again everyone, I'll post some pics after completion...
