Not really, and if it was that easy, then Richard's would be able to remedy it much easier than you or I could. The problem is the stock is too high, it needs to be reduced by about a 1/4 of an inch if not more. I took it to a friend of mine who does wood working, and if that much material was removed, say from the top, there is not enough material left to hold the barrel and bolt in place, and if taken from the bottom, you would end up with a hole across the whole bottom from the mag hole to the trigger area, nothing left to screw the action to the stock, and nothing to screw the trigger guard into, and nothing left for the plate for the mag. Now if that is not enough, the whole area of where your hand holds the stock with the finger groves, would be out of spec as well.
It has to be redone by Richards.....
You can do what you want, but I will tell you it will not work. I had researched this stock and tried to find a single pic on the net of anyone successfully completed, guess what not a single one.......not even a mention of one completed
But be my guest, if you find anything let me know
by the way, I found one guy who posted a few pics, of his attempt and start of using this stock, however he never posted anything of it ever being finished, do a search I am sure you will find them, if not I can post them as well.
