Have a hmr B14- in the factory mini chassis my buddy put his b14 ridge in a chassis system and gave me the factory stock- the slightly heavier barrel profile of the hmr dropped right in- his original factory blind bottom metal and action screws seem to mate up perfectly with no dremel work and with 4 rounds in the mag it feeds fine.
I just did this swap at the kitchen table and haven’t fired it yet but safety and trigger work fine - took total weight with bipod from hair over 13 to 9 pounds. Anyone else try this , I’m tinkering with it to shed weight for mountain hunt. Hopefully there will be minimal zero shift . Shedding 4 pounds is nice even if accuracy is slightly less. Cheek weld is of course different but actually not to bad- have a month to fit in a few range trips and coyote hunts to get used to the new lighter profile . But trigger and scope/ mount/ rail are all samey same . Any reason this shouldn’t work?
the barrel profile of buddies rifle is what they call 5.5 mine is called a 6- seemed to be plenty of room - even a folded piece of paper will fit the length of barrel channel.
kinda wish I had another muzzle break at hand the thunder beast look slightly out of place with this more traditional hunting rifle stock.
