IF the hogue stock is hollow plastic (not overly familiar with them), then one might make the front stiffer by adding braces of 5/16" brake line (or other similar size steel line/tubing). cut the braces to fit at angle and over lap each side in an "X" pattern. Use jbweld (or similar epoxy) to...
stainless is fickle to work with. it's hard on tooling, due to work hardening.
in 1936 ford built 7 cars out of stainless steel for Allegheny Ludlum stainless, which proceeded to ruin the dies. Ford had to temporarily stop production till new body dies could be made.

It seems many of you have missed the point. Student loans were changed about fours years ago (by the GOP and their banker friends) to where you could no longer consolidate all your loans (each year has a new loan) into one note. Under the new system you now have 4-5 notes due rather than one...
