[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2938476, member: 109917"] Cleaned up the previous days work and then decided to add one more ply of carbon fiber weave with a few loose random strands of weave in the bottom of action inlet running along side of the front action screw, across the inlet in front and behind the screw. Now I am at 815g and actually a bit high, the front tape wrap on the barrel had a bit of a gap I could feel when squeezed. So, now I will sand down and fit the action, open the front action screw hole again to fit the pillar, get everything lined up horizontally again and install the pillars. Once they are in place, I am going to add a ply or two of carbon fiber wrapped around the rear of the magazine well to lock in the rear pillar. I am going machine the pillars to set the bottom metal height and then epoxy bed the bottom metal to the stock. Once that cures, I will bed the front and rear of the action. The I will fix the chip in the top of the grip at the rear tang along side the safety. I am still contemplating a ply of carbon fiber in the barrel channel to seal and reinforce the filler I used, also for looks. I have got to come up with a paint scheme worthy of this wasted effort. I have sponges, air brush and small Devilbiss touch up gun. Action of the two candidates, 6.5 Creedmoor and 6.5 PRC are Burnt Bronze Cerakote. Maybe y'all can throw out some ideas and let's see what sticks. Straight out of the vise this morning. Much better pressure this time around. [ATTACH=full]507454[/ATTACH] Previous morning's picture to see the difference between the pressure [ATTACH=full]507455[/ATTACH] One thing is evident, I truly suck at taking pictures with this new IPhone 15 🤣🤣 [/QUOTE]
