[QUOTE="Brent, post: 68700, member: 99"] Alan, In the picture here you can see this stock is just skim bedded as the epoxy is very thin in a few areas. If you want a good layer of epoxy (very preferable) everywhere, the thickness you want it to be must be removed from the stock in each area you see bedding in this picture. Do your inletting about 1/16" deep as even as you can. Come right to the edge tapering the inlet depth to keep it inside the original stockline so that remains unaltered and bedding job is hidden, be careful. If you need to stiffen a forend that is too flexible you may want to inlet the barrel channel a bit deeper, maybe up to and 1/8" or so deep, and up and under the fiberglass near the top edge real well. Use one or two layers of 2 or 4" wide 20 mil plumber's tape for the desired clearance (freefloat) in the barrel channel, front, side and bottom of lug, inlet any extra as required to do so. The full length of the action should be bedded at any point of contact to insure long bedding life and extra support. Be careful to not inlet outside of the tang outline as it will not look too good. I would stay inside the tang outline about 1/16" or so with the inletting. [img]http://www.hunt101.com/img/123191.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
