Here is an update. Got some sanding done and removed a lot of material around the recoil lug. I also took it down around the tang and front stock screw to build those are up with glass for more strength. (I'm hoping I don't regreat that later.) The only thing I have done so far not in these pictures is drill holes in the areas getting glass to create a mechanical lock for the glass as recommended in the instructions that came with the kit.
