Greetings esteemed members,
Just wanted to check with the brain trust here on an issue I'm having as I'm sure someone has run into this before.
I picked up a used stock that came with Hawkins bottom metal and the Wyatt's extended box, spring and follower.
This box doesn't quite fit to my 'vintage' Remington 700 receiver, though
I am wondering if there is any reason *not* to mill this nubbin off? Even if a relief is cut in the Wyatt's magwell, the nubbin will protrude into the magazine, reducing available length and binding the follower.
Im not local to any gunsmiths, so I'd like to take care of it myself if I could.
