	The Zettler palm rest clamp arrived today. My fears were realized when a tack clamp interferance problem occured. There's always something. Should I mill the clamp?

	Bridge the gap with a piece of brass?

	Wes, Those rubber bands I use to hold my early forends on, (bicycle innertube) before I get the screw in... cut a couple of them, trim and shape them around the tacks, leave the tacks alone and Don't modify the rest clamp... easy peasy. GT

	make a new brass rest clamp that can be notched for the tacks and keep the original clamp original.

	Better than the rubber Wes, you usually use a leather liner anyway, just an extra piece between the two tacks. G

	I'm thinkin on it. All good suggestions so far. I don't want to disturb them tacks in any way. It's the only rifle I have with tack embellishment.

	Jack, one tack embellish gun is enough. Think I'm going with a chunk of heavy harness leather between the tacks. That should do the trick.
