[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 171474, member: 4785"] [b]Bedding[/b] Hi Devil. You don't need to bed the barrel channel you could have made a dam from the modeling clay. If possible always remove the trigger and boltstop. I always tape 3 layers off 100mile an hour tape fer the barrel tennon clearence. How thick ic your bedding it should be at least .100" thick. also did you tape under the recoil lug? this is verry important as if you don't you can get vertical groups you want to tape 2 or 3 layers off 100mile an hour tape on the bottom of the recoil lug with the top layer coming up the sides only around 1/4". You should also drill some small holes under the area you wish to bed and open the gap behind the recoil lug and open around ALL areas that will be bedded to allow enough strength so the bedding won't flake out. You could re skim bed the barrel channel take the bedding down and use the tape. I hate to say it I would grind it out and call your first attempt practice. Also tape the front off the barrel at the front of the barrel channel with tape to centre the barrel and just use the screws to locate the action don't screw them down or you could place stress on the action and end up with the bedding sinking. I usr a piece of tape carefully over the front off the action just to hold the action down with slight tension others use surgical tubing. I hope this helps. Cheers Bill Australia [/QUOTE]
