[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 300877, member: 3733"] The screws are waxed so no epoxy sticks to them, plug the 2 holes that you will not be using with clay so they don't fill with epoxy.You put the epoxy between the bottom of the rail and the top of the reciever. Then you set the rail over the screw holes, and instal the 2 waxed screws (johnson paste wax, or grease will work as well) Tighten just so the rail is making contact with the reciever at the high points. You want the epoxy to remain between the reciever and the rail to act as a leveler and shim. clean off the epoxy that squeezes out. Let this set 24 hours. remove the 2 screws the base will still be stuck to the reciever leave it that way. With pipe cleaners degrease the holes and clean out the putty. now instal the screws with lock -tite to proper tourqe, done. If your rail fit is really bad you may want to cut a thin brass shim to put under the right rear corner to help keep the rail as level as possible to the reciever bolt raceway. Yes egw screws are fine. sometimes the very front screw needs to be shortened so it dosen't bottom out on the barrel threads. JB should work. [/QUOTE]
