Thanks gents for your excellent ideas. I think I will locate the mag. box with a little epoxy putty, then cut off the L bracket very near the box. Then I will have the length of the L clip slot to anchor my bedding. I was thinking about taking the trigger and the sear assembly out of the trigger housing and put some thin foam around the whole thing, then tape over that.taking up the rest of the area around the trigger with putty so the trigger doesn't lock up when I pour epoxy in there. That should give me about an inch of good solid contact with the pillar area. Does anybody know if the sear bar on the end of the trigger group actually rests on the cut out on the pillar bed? Or is the pillar just relieved to allow that part of the trigger room to drop far enough into the stock?
