[QUOTE="Firearrow, post: 1241707, member: 18733"] I will politely start this with I already did many searches and have not been able to find the answers to a few questions. I am planning on ordering a McNillan A3 with pillars installed and this will be my first go at bedding. I understand the concept of bedding the action, but have a few questions. If what I have bouncing around in my head is right, once I get the stock I will need to make minor relief cuts, a dremil is what I have, around the entire area where the action will be, and using clay for a **** in front of the lug area. This is where my questions start. 1. The relief cuts will be from in front of the lug area, lug area, and back to the tang, but leave the very back of the tang alone because this will be the high point? 2. There should also be relief cuts made around the pillar area so that the action and the top of the pillars touch but are surrounded buy bedding. 3. How do I set the height of the **** of clay that sits in front of the lug area so that my barrel is free floated, but my action and front pillar still make contact. 4 How much or a relief cut am I looking to make? I know I am asking "trade secrets", but I like doing my own work. [/QUOTE]
