I had heard of this being done and my brother wanted this done on his 7mm-08 Stevens 200 so I thought I'd give it a try. My objective is to make the Stevens 200 stock usable for very limited coin. These are my results so far:

Purchased:
Fiberglass bondo kit: $13.00
Aluminum L channel: $4.00

Started with a Base stagger-feed cheepo stock:

Next Dremel enough material out to ensure your L chanel will fit low enough not to come in contact with the barrel:

Next Cut and trim your channel to ensure it does not come in contact with the barrel nut, Swivel stud bolt or end of stock:

Next remove channel and mix and insert resin: I used half the bottle as the base, mixed it and made sure I filled each section of stock as I went (also ensure the stock has a slight forward tilt to keep reason back away from your recoil lug block):

Next insert channel into resin, make up next batch of resin this time using 1/2 of the remaining resin (1/4 of bottle). Insert reason around sides of channel and down middle of channel, then use stick in kit to move resin to outsides of channel as it begins to firm. Cut fiberglass material and insert into resin then skim coat top of material:

If you do get resin up against where recoil lug is to be placed cut resin with knife roughly 4-5min after install. Ensure you cut away enough material to ensure recoil lug properly seats against stock face:

I'm currently waiting on the resin to dry and will post up more pics as I proceed with this project.
