[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 490679, member: 2215"] I gave up trying to bed the plastic stocks. There's way to much oil in them for a proper hold. I know your not in the market for new stocks but to be honest you may just be spinning your wheels trying to bed a plastic stock and not get any return out of it. With that said, I normally make sure the action is sitting straight in the stock. I then open the barrel channel up to free float the barrel. I'll then go back and remove some material in the action inlet but leave 2 points for the action to sit in. I'll wrap masking tape around the barrel to keep it centered in the channel and check my fit and clearances everywhere. Use good release agent and see how it comes out. If you bed before you float the barrel you could be inducing stress into the bedding job. I've tried bedding in a steel rod in a light stock that had too much flex, it didn't do a thing for stiffness. In my honest opinion I'd just leave them the way they are until your able to get a good stock worthy of bedding. [/QUOTE]
