[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 332636, member: 7449"] Roy, I have a very carefully selected inventory of tools that I use for Post Traumatic Bedding Disorder. They are: 1. Rubber whacker 2. Bigger rubber whacker (kidding) 3. A chisel/puddy knife that I made from annealed brass 4. The "action jack" I use home made "bedding studs" instead of guard screws when bedding. Reason is the studs only have enough threads on them to get the job done, this is to minimize any resin from forming a machine lock. They are hardened and polished like chrome to also mitigate any "stickage" during removal. Brass chisel is to chip away the annoying stuff that loiters over showline. As a practice I leave a swelled meniscus of bedding along showline to counter any shrinkage. I hate saggers. Using brass ensures I don't chew up the receiver in the process. Frequent tune ups on a sanding block are often required to keep a tuned edge. The rubber whacker is to "shock" everything loose prior to yanking the bugger out. A few firm smacks is all it takes. The jack is the key in this for me anyway. It's a sure method to pull straight up on the receiver. Even if you have a slight over center bead of resin this thing is so gentle and even tempered that often the receiver just glides right over it without the stuff cracking/splitting/chipping all over the place. Makes for quick and simple clean up afterwards. A few strokes with a long board sanding block and the showline edges are ready for final fluff/buff/finish. This is really crucial for me because I use the show line as the datum for all my bottom side inletting work in the mill. I have to treat this as a qualified edge or stuff will be all over the place.
