Arca Rail install question

[DIY HNTR]

I'm wanting to know if I can install this Area419 4" Arca adapter on a Bergara B14 Stoke Compact stock? See photos as to why I'm not sure if this is possible. Thanks!

Get the drill out and brrrrrrrrrr

Only thing you'll want to do is make sure you have a good backing plate or washers for it and make sure the bolts don't hit the barrel. Looks easy.

Yeah, I'm just afraid that the stock is actually pretty thin where the material is flat and those cross channels are really deep and thin. Seems like cutting into them might weaken the stock?

Install it and then fill that area in a bit with some epoxy or resin.

The thing ridges offer some rigidity to the stock but you can build that back. Worst case, the stock gets messed up and you can order exactly what you want!

But seriously just use some good epoxy on it. Id recess those nuts on the back side a bit and epoxy those too. Marine Tex is what I like.
