I have a Black shadow stock that is way soft and move a lot when shooting. I desasemble the rifle and fund that the forend is empty. I plan to make more room for the barrel on each side and to put many layer of fiberglass clath with it's mixture to re-enforing it. I also plan to add some layers on the outside of the whole stock and after sanding painting it.

After this, I will try to install pillards and bed the front portion of the action.

What do you thin about all this, is the stock will be more hard? is the accuracy wil be better?

thanks
 
realy?
just glass bed a steel rod into the forend and that's it, or I need to bed and pillards the action too?

for the rod, just add it to the glass mixing....
 
You could still bed the action to stiffen the stock up in the action area, but the metal rod will help stiffen your forend....to do the rod trick, inlet the forend for the rod, mix up a batch of bedding compound, put some compound in the inletted area, drop the rod in and fill the inletted area with compound.

I've just done that with a Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine (not a collector's piece- a reworked/restocked military action) which I'm full-length bedding. I was amazed how incredibly light and stiff those arrow shafts are. If you plug the ends of the shaft(s) to keep the epoxy out you'll use less epoxy and save even more weight.

I had a Savage 22-250 that did the same thing. I went and found some 3/8"x3/8" keystock from the hardware store,drilled and tapped a hole for the swivel stud to screw into,and took a grinder and ground down the ribs on the inside of the stock[so the keystock will sit in the recess you are creating with the grinder]. I then took the swivel stud off the stock[probably held on the stock with a nut with a nylon insert[so it can't back out]. Next ,i laid the keystock into the rifle stock and took the swivel stud & screwed it into the key stock from the outside of the gunstock in. For the next step make sure the gun stock is level [so the epoxy does not run out of the stock]. Now go and get some J-B Weld[not the 5 minute kind],mix it up and cover up the key stock with the j-b weld. Whole job should take about 1 1/2 hours total. Let the epoxy dry and the job is done. The epoxy will not interfere with the barrel channel at all and the stock will be noticably stiffer. Good luck.
