Bell and Carson stock?

How did B&C recommend to cut the stock shorter, if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks!
They didn't, but we cut it off with a ban saw and cut the pad off the other part of the stock and reinstalled the pad with the screws. Bell&Carlson glues on their pads so they have to be cut off too. The is all kinds of material (about a 1" wide oval hole maybe 2" long) to work with a piece of cake to do. Worked out great. I am very pleased with my Bell&Carlson stock. If I had known what I do now. I could have had them cut the stock for to the LOP I wanted at no extra charge. That's a service the offer but you have to ask for it, I don't believe anyone could tell the difference at looking at the aluminum bedding and the rest of the stock they could tell it wasn't a H&S stock. Except it cost about $150.00 less. I tried buying a H&S stock for a Long Action and the only one the sold was a stock designed for that god awful ASCI with the 1.5 inch clip release and a 6" clip sticking out the bottom. This is a hunting rifle. I wanted either a box magazine or a flush mounted floor plate. So that's why I went looking for something different. This won't be the last B&C stock I buy. Russ

Have the B & C M-40 w/bedding blocks on both my .260AI & .308 REM 700 custom hunting rifles. Both are just drop-in and go shoot. Both will shoot 1/4 inch groups with good load development from a Harris bi-pod and rear bag.

Really nice groups.
 
I have a Long Action Bell & Carlson M-40 with aluminum bedding that I am going to post here for sale in a few days for $280 shipped. The stock is in excellent condition. If you are interested, send a PM with a phone # or e-mail.
 
I have a Bell and Carlson M40 stock from a Rem 700 LR project, no complaints, feels nice, works well. That said, I have a HS Precision Win model 70 stock from a Laredo rifle. Really like that one. Maybe it just fits me better.
