[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 134509, member: 10"] Crow Mag, I drill a hole through the grip in the center of the hollow for the factory trigger counter ballance. THen run an expoxy coated threaded section of heat treated steel rod down into this hole. In severe cases I will add two additional smaller steel rods to each side of this larger center one. Generally 1/4" to 3/8" for the center and 1/8" for the outer two if installed. I leave the top of these rods extending up into the counter balance hollow and then fill this in with steel bed compound. Then I mill a groove in the stock just behind the recoil lug support on each side of the stock which extends down most of the receiver length. I inlay a 1/4" heat treated steel rod cut to length to fit in these grooves snuggly and bed them in place to contact the baring surface of the recoil lug on both sides. I then bed the receiver to the stock in the traditional mannor. In many cases, depending on the dimensions of the forend and barrel, I will often bed the barrel channel to the barrel as well just to make it as strong as possible especially if a bipod will be used. Another tip, use a Holland Comp recoil lug machined to work with the XP trigger mount. This will greatly reduce any recoil lug flexing on these heavy kickers. Recoil lug flexing is one of the main reasons stock fail on heavy recoiling XP-100s. A properly machined Holland Comp Recoil lug will pretty much eliminte this problem and several others as a result.
