So I mis-measured my action screw spacing and purchased a 4.4" HS stock with CDI bottom metal only to find out that my action was a 4.25" (total boner move, I know). I got a pretty good deal on the setup, so I'd like to use it. I'd also like to not ruin it. Is the best way to remedy this to epoxy fill the hole and re-drill the hole on the stock and just elongate the hole on the bottom metal? I m assuming that action screw spacing has little/nothing to do with how an AICS mag will work so long as it is for a short action.

Any help?
