Need someone to inlet a stock so bottom metal is flush

[HandgunHTR]

I bought a new fiberglass stock from Stocky's for my Remage 7TCU rifle. It was previously in a Mesa Precision stock, but that one is being repurposed for my latest build (a 260Rem). The stock is a Stocky's ultralight, but it came in an Iota box, so I am assuming that is who makes them for Stocky's.
Long story, short, the bottom metal does not sit flush. The front is about 1/8" proud and the rear is at least a 1/16" proud. The front action screw will not even engage the action.
I don't have an end mill, or know anyone around here that does, so I am wondering if there is anyone here that could hook me up if I send them the stock and bottom metal? I am happy to pay for the service, but I need a relatively short turn-around (in gunsmithing time) as I have an Axis and Sheep hunt in TX in May that I would like to use this gun for.

Thanks for the help! Hope everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas.

What bottom metal? For sure it's 'glass....not carbon fiber? I know Iota makes both versions for them. -Al

Regular Remington BDL. It could be CF. I opened up the area around the barrel nut already, and it seemed to have a different composition than my CF from Mesa, but Stocky's advertises them as CF.

Make sure you are using the correct bottom metal for the stock. Remington BDL bottom metal and the bottom metal for custom flat bottom stocks fit differently.

Possibly the wrong bottom metal? Possibly the stock inlet is wrong? With that being said, correct pillar height is the key. Some stock lines don't always allow for a flush fit.

It is factory Remington BDL bottom metal. The description states that it is inletted for factory BDL bottom metal. The bottom metal fit perfectly in the Mesa Precision stock, which has now been repurposed to a .260 build using Redhawk Rifles Remington BDL bottom metal, which also fits perfectly in that stock.

The inletting in the stock is too shallow, which makes the bottom metal sit proud and the front action screw will not engage. That is the problem that I need fixed.

I sent you a PM

Just wanted everyone to know that I sent the stock to Paul and he did a fantastic job. Bottom metal is now flush and it bolts up tight.
Super fast turnaround on it as well.

Thanks Paul!
