I have a Brown Kevlar Pound'r blank on order and am wondering what I am in for as far as shortening the stock to the correct LOP with a recoil pad. Brown's website says that the kevlar stock blanks are more difficult to sand, machine, and finish than fiberglass, but really offers no instructions for working with the material. Has anyone here cut off a kevlar stock ? If so, what tools were used ? The blank may come with instructions, I am not sure. The kevlar pounder blank is less than half the cost of a prefinished kevlar pounder stock, which makes me think that is indeed a difficult material to work with.
