[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1458192, member: 87243"] I have tried it, and you can't just drop it in, the angle doesn't allow it to happen easilly. I have pillar bedded 4 rugers and bedded 3 others that already had pillars in the stock. My best solution so far, is I put a small amount of plumbers putty in the action screw hole, just to plug it, not fill it. The rear has the pillar installed with a tapered head screw to center it, just snug, not tight. I have another tapered head screw with matching threads for the front action screw, that I used kiwi polish on for realease. I gently set the action in the stock with bedding material with the pillar not yet screwed to the action. Some bedding material sometimes gets around the screw hole, that is ok because of the putty. I ensure the pillar oriented properly, and screw in the tapered head screw until just snug, to hold the pillar against the action. I have my screw ground to a length that only requires one turn or so to snug up. I use electrical tape to tape the action into the stock, with wraps of electrical tape around the barrel at the forend to center and float it. Once the bedding compound cures, I take the screws out, pop the action out, and clearing out the small amount of bedding compound from the front action screw hole is quick and easy, any that may have gotten in was not squeezed all the way to the bottom, as my screw hardly engages, and the compound is only setting on soft plumbers putty, and comes right out. Clean out the hole with a q tip and acetone, and it's still like new. For any bedding material inside the front pillar, I simply drill it out with a fitting drill bit. You don't want that contact on your front action screw. [ATTACH=full]101161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]101162[/ATTACH] Has worked well for me. [/QUOTE]
