I reinforced my factory axis stock in the forearm with an epoxy resin. No metal or anything like that, just scuffed it up good and applied epoxy resin for the full length of the forend. It hardened up within 1 hour and now the stock is rock solid up front. I epoxied the trigger guard in place and stuffed cotton cloth in the buttstock along with some weight (i used a bag of lead fishing weights) wrapped tightly and secured inside the buttstock. The stock now is much better balanced and way more solid than from the factory. I was considering buying an aftermarket stock but I really like the factory synthetic stock, it just needed to be tweaked to my specification.
