[QUOTE="Coldfinger, post: 1884720, member: 113278"] I use modeling clay. I place it just in front of the chamber area in the stock. Kinda the thickness of a pencil. Then I place the barreled action in the stock and tighten screws down and let it rest for a few minutes. Remove barreled action. I trim the action side of the clay with an exacto knife so it’s nice and square. Use tip of knife to add bits you trim to any places that need it. Apply masking tape, release agent and bedding compound. After curing remove barreled action and dig out clay with exacto knife and clean up bedding with same knife. Patients is key trust me I’m very impatient!!! The quality of the finished product is dependent on your patience from the start!! I like to put 4 layers of electric tape on the front and bottom of the recoil lug. Just gives some room! And it’s how an old time gunsmith taught me. I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong but I trusted his word on it! [/QUOTE]
