[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3512038, member: 13284"] If the 03A3 stock that you installed hasn't been sporterizerized, I'd suggest not inletting the stock as it's value would be significantly decreased. It might be best to repair the cracked sporter stock and use it instead. Between the chrome, polished and blued finish on the B/R, drill and tap, and altered bolt handle, the rifle is too far gone to restore to any semblance of its original configuration. Edit: IIRC, the 03A3 stock was the one that you purchased out of the classifieds with the shortened forend. If so, don't hesitate to inlet the stock to accommodate the bolt handle. A Dremel with a sanding drum will make short work of it. Just mark the area that requires inletting. Go slow and test the bolt periodically so that too much material isn't removed. The inletted area on the sporter stock should give you an idea as to what contour and depth will be needed. [/QUOTE]
