[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 76720, member: 8"] Couple of more points, Take a magnifying glass and take a careful look at the crown for any burrs, nicks or gouges that would bother a bullet exiting. Getting a new crown is pretty cheap but the wait period is somewhat out of context with the price being as most smiths are pretty busy. I am not familiar with 'dropping an action into a McMillian stock' but I would certainly want to bed almost any action in almost any stock. There is really a very good and very long thread on this site about bedding actions. The carbon buildup can require quite a few hours with a plastic bristle brush. I alternate about every 30 minutes between Sweets and Bore Shine. That way I kill twice as many of my brain cells with the noxious fumes. Iossa is supposed to be pretty good for letting sit in the bore over night and soften the carbon up. It is a gel so it doesn't run. I am going to order some and try it being as I am lazy and hate the hard work. I try to shoot on Saturdays so I have the whole Nascar race on Sunday to clean the carbon out. As a suggestion, if you put some geography into your profile it helps all of us understand more about what you hunt and who is close to you, etc. [/QUOTE]
