[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 374511, member: 22335"] So we've all gotten used to seeing NesikaChad's wonderful bedding jobs. You start to wonder what kind of work is put out by other "gunsmiths" out there. Today I received in a rifle with a Bell & Carlson stock. In talking with the previous owner it allegedly had been bedded by his local gunsmith, but it didn't seem to improve at all after the work was done. In fact, he brought it back to have him "add back" the pressure pad near the end of the stock to see if it would help; it did not. It was very good to start with, but didn't go from "very good" to "Great." So, he sold it. So I pull the stock off the rifle and this is what I see: [URL="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2723161060010410527EjABKv"][IMG]http://inlinethumb31.webshots.com/45278/2723161060010410527S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2498824080010410527NJYElW"][IMG]http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/41847/2498824080010410527S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] No, I could not believe it either. Click on the pics to get to larger photos - not that you want to see a bigger pic of anything this gruesome. My questions are: 1. What is this stuff? It almost seems like Gorilla Glue. :D 2. How do I remove it? I've used a small straight screwdriver and can chip off some of it. It is not "completely" hard. However I'd love to know if there is something other than scraping or a Dremel that will clean it up. 3. I know that the Devcon 10110 is grayish in color. Is there a Devcon that is tan? Another one of my rifles with the same color stock has a tan bedding material that is really close in shade to the stock (see pic below) and I'd love to use that rather than gray, if possible. I "think" I saw a picture by NesikaChad on another forum that showed the tan color, but anyone is welcome to let me know. Thanks for any insight you may have. Tan bedding I'd like to copy: [URL="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2348709560010410527GVGsEP"][IMG]http://inlinethumb01.webshots.com/17152/2348709560010410527S500x500Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
