Good Morning Aaron. Consider using a dowel rod into the grip from the action side of the project instead of a metal rod. I use/make either 1/2" or 5/8" to re-enforce my stocks from straight grained English walnut. I glass them in using Acra-glass. Going from the grip side can pose problems in getting the stock secured/aligned properly during boring. Also please give me a call. It is time to discuss the ACGG.
