It does, but I still feel like my original question hasn't been answered. I think I need to share more details on where I'm at.
I've never bedded a rifle before but have read up on it, and watched several videos that lead me to believe that I can do it,
such as the one posted here. I have a vise and all the other tools... I was leaning towards getting Steel-Bed, based on the recommendation from
@J E Custom at
this post on compounds ; I really liked
@ntsqd 's arguments for the Devcon aluminum, and Brownell's is low on details for the Steel-bed, but if it carries over some of the thermal expansion properties of stainless steel (which Steel-bed claims to contain a very high percentage of), then I could excuse some of the lack of technical details and give it a go.
My stock I ordered is a carbon fiber
make from Stocky's , which will be filled like you said (they call it a V Accublock composite). Because of this, I expect I will be doing a skim bedding, as you described. Also, because of this I'm also thinking that pillar bedding is not going to happen, or that "that ship has sailed." I have a Wheeler's torque wrench, and will be attaching a Wyatt's BDL...Stocky's recommends 45 ft/lbs with their composite.
To my actual question: Based on the recommendation by that guy in my original post, I would like to add wavy washers if I can. I'm not clear on where to put the washer though. If I add a wavy washer directly under the screw's head, it won't compress flat because the screw's head, and the corresponding recessed hole in the action, is angled. Does this mean I can place a washer between the action and the stock, or bottom metal and stock? Or should I just scrap the idea?
(Thank you for the tip on different torque levels for the screws!)
