Greetings and salutations all,
I have here in my hands er... lap, because my hands are on my keyboard, a Bell and Carlson stock (at least, that is what is on the recoil pad, so I assume it is actually a Bell and Carlson) that is wrapped in "Seclusion 3D" camo finish. (I obtained this stock used) I am pretty sure that information is unnecessary, but I figured that I might as well give it.
Anyway, the forend of this stock is warped. Badly. It is some kind of synthetic material, some kind of resin or something. I don't want to say that it is fiberglass, because it looks nothing like the fiberglass I am used to (body work, aviation or automobile), but it could be, I guess, if stock fiberglass is different than body fiberglass (sorry, everything I own is wood, well, I have a .22 that is pretty basic plastic). Is there any way to straighten it? If not, it isn't a big deal, I'll just hog it out bigger and fill it back up with epoxy, and the barrel won't go quite perfectly down the center of the stock. I just wanted to know if there was any trick to this kind of thing.
Thanks!
