I am putting my 223 12FVSS into a Boyd's thumbhole stock. I purchased a pillar kit off of ebay and the pillars are pretty big. There wasn't much material in the stock between the rear action screw hole and the trigger assembly to begin with, and when I drilled my holes out to accommodate the larger pillars the material broke out. Is my stock ruined or can I just bed the pillars in and have the bedding compound holding the rear pillar? I am planning on bedding the action and recoil lug as well.
Thanks,
Jason
