I went with 1.185 thinking Id have to skim a little off to make it fit. Ended up making the scock retainer with the adjusting holes bigger to make up for the slop. Its snug now.
I think they designed them with that much slop to open and shut when they're dirty/sandy. I think the slop is a bit excessive and would love to have only .015" difference between the two. Of course I'm not going to make a belly crawl across a sandy beach somewhere either. About the worst I've had was when I was out coyote hunting I got out of my truck I set my warm gun down in the snow and some of it melted and froze the stock in the closed position. It took me about two minutes with the stock under my coat to warm it up enough to open the stock.
Ended up with a eight position stock cause I wanted to keep as much weight off as possible so I drilled as many holes as would fit on the rail. All thats left is to smooth out the welds and powdercoat the tube. U can also see the buffer tap solution I did by welding a piece of 1/2 round with a clearance for a 1/4-20 flat head bolt,tapped the buffer mount and its rock solid.
