[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 73379, member: 286"] Instead of using the action screws I use some extra long bolts and nuts the same thread as the action. I finished threading them the whole way, cut the boltheads off and slotted them with a hacksaw. Then screw these into the action and wrap 1 to 2 thicknesses of electrical tape around them before coating the action and the taped bolts with release. When applying release, I use a qtip and dab a little in the pillar holes. Or if not using pillars, use four or five wraps of tape. I prefit these bolts center in the triggerguard holes and wrap tape until it is a snug fit. When the action is lowered into the bedding compound the little that is squeezed into the screw hole is easily removed by using a screwdriver and removing the screw from the bottom. This way I never squish bedding compound up into the bolt lug, back, or in the case of a Rem, tang area, if using pillars, this lines up the bolts and keeps them from touching the pillars. I use homemade brass nuts with a bevel when doing the final bedding and normal nuts to initially hold the pillars to the action while I am gluing them in. [/QUOTE]
