[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1192382, member: 2736"] I just make them out of aluminum or stainless and cut them to the necessary length to raise the action off the stock just a little.(at most 1/16") on most composite stocks the existing pillars are recessed in the stock and wont touch the action, so most of the time the bushing/extension is about 1/8" long in order to lift the stock enough to bed. Note : don't raise the action to much or it will look odd. I like the barrel and action centered on the stock inlet. If you don't have access to a metal lathe you can stack/bond stainless washers of the proper size to the height you want and they will work. You can remove/scrape some of the stock but you have to be careful not to cut into the filler. that is why I like to add to the pillar height. Some feel that the bedding compound will hold up in compression over time, But the metal to metal to metal make up does not compress over time and the bedding will last a life time.
