[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 626066, member: 2736"] This is not uncommon with any stock. What I would suggest is, check the action screw spacing and see if both holes line up. Next center the front screw by adding one or two layers of Heat shrink to a ''headless'' screw that is 2'' long and make sure you can get the barreled action in the stock easy. If you can apply one layer of heat shrink to both screws, If you cant, use a smooth shank screw on the tang for a guide to help line up the action during bedding. After coating the bottom of the action and the heat shrink with wax or release agent ,Take a dremel or sand paper to all of the surfaces of the stock to be bedded (Use the dremel to reach down in recoil slot if the stock and clean it for bedding. I like to use Steel Bed from Brownells because of working time and it doesent run easy. I use spring clamps to hold the action down while bedding is curring, some use bungees or surgical tubing to prevent stress from clamping forces. Once it is bedded and starts to cure leaving the clamps on you can remove the screws with the heat shrink carefully without disturbing the bedding and it will come out easy after curing. Once you have the action out and the bedding cleaned check the clearance on the action screws using the screws used to align the action with the heat shrink removed. If eather screw looks like it may touch the pillar, drill the hole in the pillar out a little larger for clearance. At no time should the action screws touch the pillars, only the action and the floor metal should touch each end of the pillar/block. Just because a stock comes with a bedding block does not mean it doesn't need bedding properly. Good luck and I hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
