[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2625599, member: 118876"] A few have mentioned it, but get a good release agent if you want to save yourself a lot of hard work or a nightmare. Release agent, release agent, release agent, I cannot say it enough. Lots of great info was given to you, just don't forget the release agent. I put it on the screws and even up on the feed ramp just in case some works its way in there. I've only used Acraglas, both the liquid and gel, and I've never had a problem with cracking. The liquid is harder to keep in the stock as it runs a lot easier, and it fills the voids better, but the gel stays in place. I put anodized steel in the recoil area and it seems to work well, plus I fill the entire recoil area, no tape on the front of the recoil lug, it really makes the receiver go back in the same place every time, but it is harder to get the receiver out when you take it apart, but it's not too hard. I use some really thick electrical tape on the bottom of my barrel so it will be free-floated when it dries. If you use the gel let it set a few hours, take a tongue depressor and sharpen it like a knife, and cut the extra gel poking out of the stock here and there but don't cut it even with the stock so you can level it later when it gets hard. My two cents for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
