[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1457967, member: 2736"] When I bed a rifle I take a screw with the same thread and grind the head the same diameter as the threads so it will pass through the stock action screw hole. Then I use one or two tubes of wire shrink rap on the screw that will just fit in the action screw hole in the stock (Longer so the end of the shrink rap ends up smaller when heated). I also apply wax/release agent to the shrink wrap to make it come out easy after bedding. The main purpose of doing it this way, It to align and locate the barreled action the stock radially and axially and to prevent bedding compound from getting in the action holes. I do this on both ends of the action and on every action whether or not it has blind holes because it also keeps the compound from getting into places that you don,t want with some actions. It also helps guide the action down in the stock, helping distribute the bedding compound and removing any bubbles and also minimizes cleaning/reaming the action screw holes in the stock. Just the way I like to bed actions. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
