[QUOTE="Apex Custom Rifles, post: 590646, member: 19307"] I'm not a gunsmith ether, but I have done quite a bit of gunsmithing work under a gunsmith and my opinion would be that it would be a waste of time and material. Even if you didn't want to bed your barrel getting proper alignment would be next to impossible without a barrel, and would most likely need to be cut out and redone once a barrel is put on. If you have a mock up barrel you can throw on it, it could be done, but you would most likely have to make some modifications once you get your acutal barrel. I tend to bed my heavier barrels such as a #5 or heavier out about 2" depending on the chambering but never past the chamber. So with the barrel weight you stated, I would bed the back of the barrel.
