[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1464615, member: 27307"] This should not be considered to be an in depth training explanation. Bedding can be handled in three methods: Just bedding compound Pillar Bedding Bedding blocks (with or w/o skim bedding) If you're using the HS or B&C stocks with the aluminum block, Stress-free skim bedding should be all you need to consider. Be sure that the barreled action is in the center of the stock or adjust the areas which are out of alignment. The blocks are machined to a generic contour and not made to have a specific stress-free fit. The skim bedding makes sure that the contour of the action fits stress-free in the inlet. Stocks without a block should have pillars installed and the proper stress-free bedding technique applied. Here is the article by Richard Franklin regarding stress-free bedding: [URL]http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html[/URL] I prefer and use Marine-Tex as a bedding compound but there are any number of folks who have a different opinion about the compound and the techniques. Just be sure to use the best release compound and application of it. Clear shoe polish for the amateurs is a good start. Regards. [/QUOTE]
