Kensal ,I agree wholeheartedly with not putting needless filler into the in-letting ,I should of been more specific ...the mating surfaces,of an old stock to the bearing surface the receiver more often than not are shrunk away ever so slightly,maybe even soft with oil,once this oil is removed there is nothing but good that can come from having an absolutely perfect bearing surface where the recoil could potentially push the action back and cause split's,even a mere fraction of an inch will allow moment and create a problem.I'm not in any way referring to the working innards of an action having anything introduced.
IMHO any vintage gun ,that will be intended for use should have this done,.A collector piece never to be shot ,why would you ?,if the old timers 100 or so years had this product available I have no doubt they would have used it for repair in this area ,because that's exactly what it is a repair to missing material
There is no stock maker alive who can inlet the "machine marks" from this bearing surface into a stock head ...glass/epoxy can
