Barrel Bedding Tools

[MI.264]

Hey, I'm looking for Barrel Bedding tools.
I've tried the normal route of Bronnels, and Midway
but out of stock, no pun intended.
Or does anyone have a method they use. other than this tools.

You need to be more specific.

All you need is marine Tex grey from ace hardware or Amazon and kiwi brand hard shoe polish.

Don't forget to degrease your action and screws. Brake cleaner works well, but I like the Starting fluid better.

Are you actually going to bed the barrel or the action and lug ?

OK, I'm looking for the file type tool, 2 handle.
I don't use any chemicals in anything, let alone my woodworking.
Thanks

All the above, first I need to fit the barrel into the channel.

If it's a lot of material I will use a router table, but if it is a small amount I stick some adhesive sandpaper on a wood dowel, copper pipe, or the actual barrel and run it back and forth in the stock. Start with #100 then work down to however smooth you want it. I usually lay the barrel on the stock and trace the barrel on the stock with a pen/pencil/sharpie so I have an idea of how much material to remove.
