This needs to slip down easy so that after it's all painted, when I push it down on to the body, it won't tear up the paint at the body.

Heres what it looks like with the stock mounted on
In order to get it mounted on, I first had to clean out this area on the body.
Then I had to drill out this area. All I had was a spade bit, but it worked like a champ.
One of the tubes was a bit to long so I marked it off and cut the tubing.
Then, just push it all together
They're starting to look darn cool.

How I'm fixing this is by loading up the cowl section and after giving it s few minutes to dry, I pushed the body in. Since it time to harden a bit it did not stick to the body.

Here I have a piece of sandpaper over a stir stick. This should get is sanded nice and flat
Got to get those edges off these pieces. Only showing the pink one but both it and the blue one had the same problem.
Now for a general all around sanding to make sure that any release compound that is remaining is removed.
I can almost smell the primer now.
