Ray--too late--I drilled three 1/4" holes in the 3 areas where the lead was moving and filled it with foam (I didn't want to remove the recoil pad)--the epoxy(or whatever was used)and pellets were moving around and some pellets fell out--all different sizes of pellets--after I drilled the holes you could see the whole gob move back and forth, but no more--I may end up with a Brockman's or another McMillan in the near future, but at least I learned a few things and with the stock not being perfect in the first place it didn't make sense to send it to anyone to muck with---I'll keep a close eye on it while shooting it---chris
