[QUOTE="kfrye, post: 221134, member: 5472"] Chad, Great article at firearms forum on bedding. For better or worse, I am going to try tackling a bedding project and would like your direction on a couple loose ends I have before I start: You mention making sure the action is sitting in the stock at waterline- do you have a picture that shows this or can you explain sitting at waterline? With the 10ml pipe around the barrel, how do you make sure the tang of the action is sitting level with the front? Once the action is in the bedded stock, how do you securely hold everything together while the epoxy cures- stock makers screws, electrical tape? Lastly, do you wait until the epoxy is fully cured before pulling the gun back apart for clean up, or do you monitor what gets squeezed out and start trimming before the bed is fully cured, followed by pulling the action out and trimming the excess out? Studying your photos, have you graduated to machining out the excess with a program? Thanks for your help Chad, I am going to try and measure up to the fine work you have posted. I am hoping I can speed the learning curve along. Ken [/QUOTE]
