Gunsmithing 700 ADL Stock Mods

[DLBlack]

If I sand the checkering off of an ADL stock to make it more like the M40, would it remove to much wood? I don't want it to be abnormally thin when I'm finished. I'm not sure how deep the factory cheering typically is. Thanks.

try and raise it with steam, sanding it would weaken the stock to much to get it all out and blended well.

Thanks. Are all factory ADL stocked pressed checkering or do you know if some are cut? I've seen some advertised as cut checkering, but for my project I would rather have pressed for the reasons mentioned above.

Some of the really old ones were cut. Most are stamped/pressed.
