[QUOTE="truck driver, post: 1160114, member: 49660"] I just finished up two pillar bedding jobs on a pair of Winchester M70s and used Devcon 10110. It was the first time of used this product and the first time I pillar bedded a rifle. I Basically did everything as suggested in past post using Kiwi neutral shoe polish and taping the sides of the recoil lug as described. The Devcon is very tacky and stays where it is put which is a good thing when pillar bedding. Naturally the action screw holes need to be drilled out over size and I went 1/32" over the size of the pillar in one rifle and 1/16" over in the other since the stock was machined off center and needed wiggle room to center the action in the stock so there would be clearance in the barrel channel. The first one I did which was the Boyd's laminated stock had the action cut machined off center and I did a two step bedding on it. I first bedded the pillars to get a better alignment and then the recoil lug and two inches in front of the action. The second one was a Winchester factory laminated stock and I bedded everything in one step, the pillars, recoil lug and barrel shank in front of the action. As you can see I removed the trigger mechanism fro the action and filled the open areas with modeling clay. I also put modeling clay on the screw heads to keel the epoxy from forming a mechanical weld. You also need to relieve the area behind the rear action screw pillar on a M70 so you don't have a second recoil lug which will cause the wrist to split. You can remove about 1/32" after the epoxy has set when you remove the action once the epoxy has set up and this will give enough clearance to keep from having a second recoil lug. [/QUOTE]
