[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 750021, member: 2736"] What you want is a action, to pillar, to floor metal fit. Before bedding then when the bedding is applied use just enough clamping to squeeze the excess bedding out allowing the action to contact the pillars. I use spring clamps (They look like big jumper cable clamps) some use surgical tubing. this will give you a stress free bedding job. I use longer action screws with the heads turned down with 1 heat shrink tubing for guides only. Do not use action screws to tighten action down in bedding. The action screws will add flex/stress to the action. When bedding has cured I remove the screws without removing the action and leave the clamps and action in the stock for 24 Hours before removing. The main reason for having a stress free, metal to metal to metal bedding job is to be able to torque to required In/lbs without any changes and no compression of stock materials (Any stock). Bedding is actually a very simple job once you have a good trouble free method. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
