I have a Polish underfolder built on a Global Trades reveiver. The wood stock that came on it is very nice, but I really like the look of Bakelite! I got a Bulgarian Bakelite stock set for Christmas from my folks, and I'm just now deciding to give 'em a try on the underfolder.
I've come across a problem. The lower forearm piece wobbles something FIERCE! The insert portion that goes into the front of the receiver is too small.
I'm trying to fill in the gaps with some clear silicone II sealant, but I'm not sure that's going to work.
I'll try to take some pics shortly to let you guys see what I'm dealing with.
Any suggestions?

Ok, here's a picture of the front of the receiver. I have put two "beads" of silicone to help stablize the forearm.
Here's a pic of the forearm, where I have put two "beads" of silicone. The forearm wiggles up and down, as well as side to side pretty substantially.
Here is the old wood stock next to the new Bakelite stock. See how much smaller the inserted piece of the Bakelite is compared to the wood stock?
And finally, here is why I want to go through this trouble, instead of just leaving it as it was. The look of Bakelite! I'm lov'n it!
