Plastic to metal weld??

[nmkid]

Well, I received my new stock from Stocky's yesterday. After inquiring on several forums including here I figured I could get it to work. Problem was/is I have a REM 700 DBM and the stock is for a 700 hinged plate. Mounted the barreled action on the stock and then tried to slip the DBM in. Almost, but, no dice. At this time I had 2 options. Dremel into the new stock and hollow out enough material to let the DBM catch or install the new Kiwk Klip conversion kit I had gotten. So, I removed the side push-in latches on the original clip. The clip slid right in perfectly. I placed the rifle on the edge of the bench right on the clip. Put in 2 dummy rounds and they fed perfect. Of course at this point there is nothing to keep the clip in. The clip is metal and the bottom is plastic. I plan on using the rifle as a single shot so...What kind of epoxy can I use for this plastic to metal weld? Would hate to be shooting and have the clip fall out in public. This would be a permanent thing. Would like to return The Kwik Klip and save $100.

Well, since I am always worried about permanently epoxing the metal to the stock, I don't see why devcon would not accomplish it for you.

If you are going to use the rifle as a single shot why not use a single shot follower. Its a machined piece of aluminum that attaches to the bottom of the receiver and guides the round to the chamber. I think they are usually glued to the bottom of the receiver, where it is metal to metal and removal is easy. Sinclair would have them. I think the last one I saw was a Davidson.

Score high gunsmithing makes the followers. Why not make the cuts in the stock like it was from the factory for the dbm

Dusty,

I had the dremel in hand to do just that. But, I chickened out because I didn't know if the fiberglass, (sorry forgot to mention it was fiberglass) in that portion of the stock was hollow or solid. I also thought about the High Score follower but, you still need the spring to make it work. I already have one of Robertson's, (High Score) follower. He has done some work for me in the past. Nice fellow. I hunted elk with his brother in Wyoming.

You don't need the spring, I use a piece of Styrofoam weighs next to nothing....

The Score High follower can be epoxied to the receiver directly. It makes the action a tad stiffer and can be removed with a heat gun set on low. I have three rifles with this treatment with thousands of rounds each and no problems.
As above, Devcon or JB Steel weld are my favorites.

Theres 2 different followers one is bigger and fills it in like a 40x the other goes on top of the factory follower. Are you sure the fiberglass is hollow there? Ive never seen one that wasnt solid in that thin area
