[QUOTE="Crane, post: 323617, member: 5144"] Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Took it out of the freezer this morning, still stuck. Used Eddie's advice and went with the iron method. After moving it back and forth it was apparent the lug and rear were coming loose which gave me hope. A little more pressure and it popped out. I was elated until further examination. The front of the action and the barrel as well as the rear came out perfect except for a little bedding material stuck to the rear of the action. The lock was all down the sides of the action, cracking the stock on the opposite side of the bolt handle the length of the action relief. It pulled out chunks of wood leaving bedding material down the sides of the action and even pulled off the Duracoat in a spot. All in all I think The HI-SCORE bedding kit is a good one except for the instructions for the included release agent. I quote from the DVD: [I]"After the mold release wax in applied, it should be buffed to a shine everywhere there is a bedded surface. After buffing you will be able to feel the slick and shiny surface left behind by the mold release. The mold release is an industrial grade release agent used by the manufacturing industry for departing molds on a large scale where fit and finish cannot be compromised."[/I] Maybe I'm just trying to direct blame away from myself but I laid that stuff down on everything and buffed as directed by hand until slick and shiny. Would I use these products again? Maybe, but I'm warning everyone that buffing until shiny didn't work for me. The bedding material was a nice thick consistency easy to work with and the adjustable pillars were top notch. The guy at HI-SCORE answers the phone usually by the third ring. So yeah I'm ****ed but what's done is done. It's not the extra money this is gonna cost as much as the time involved to get this resolved that kill's me. I was planning on fire forming 25-06's to Ackley Improved and barrel break in today. I'll clean this up as hopefully not to offend anyone but if it was raining vaginas I'd get hit with a penis.
