Stocks n locks

Got my stock for the Fowler.
 I see the CNC machine ran out along the barrel channel/ lock mortis.
 Would there be any issues with that?

While it's certainly not ideal, it's hard to answer your question without a few more pictures from different angles.

I'm pretty sure that I'd return it, Kevin....

It's hard enough to fit a stock properly, w/o dealing with someone else's mistake

I agree with Rondo - need to see more pix of the stock, bbl, lock. 

That stock webbing area is super thin by nature.  I've removed it for more than one gun as it serves no functional purpose and the overall gun looks better without it.

All I have at the moment stock n barrel. Waiting on the small parts.
 I'll try and post a few more photos when I have time.
 Thanks folks.

.62 Virginia Fowler.  Ordered thru sitting fox.
 Shipped from pecatonic long rifle company.

I ordered a few pre carved stocks from Pecatonica, and IIRC, there were a couple of problems with them.  But their wood was exceptional.  Always highly figured.  Wound up just buying stock blanks instead.

 The wood is so thin in this area that i cant imagine it would offer much in the way of structural support if it where intact.
still waiting on the lock and the other stuff. 
thoughts?
  Will this area be removed as i final inlet the lock ?  should I, can I or do I need to reinforce it. 
I really don't want to send it back if not absolutely necessary.

Well,.... it's proper for your lock to be snugged up right against the flat on your barrel (so no wood needed there), will you be using 1 lock bolt, or 2?

I’d be a bit nervous about the cut through going so far forward in what appears to be at an angle, into the barrel channel. The area to the rear, right at the breach end is ok IMO.

I agree,.... if you're not completely satisfied with the stock they sent you,.... send'er back.

I had more than a few long guns where the webbing in question wasn't even there, and the rest where I took it out.  It has no structural context and for the most part it can just get in the way of a good fit between the lock plate and bbl itself.  If the integrity of the rest of the stock is intact, I'd just build the gun.  However, if yer still in a quandary over this, send the images back to the seller for their answer.
