[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 898691, member: 1290"] The metal and the impression in the epoxy look very rough. Did you polish out the Kiwi before making the cast? Where do the .0005" feeler gauges go? I can't picture what they are for. A floated barrel has no contact anywhere from the front of the lug forward. If you can help it I would try to minimize the amount of epoxy forward of the lug. This will make the cleanup a lot easier. Remember the goal is consistent stress free bed for the action. It only takes 3 inch pounds to bend a Remington action. To secure the action in place during bedding a zip tie or one wrap of surgical tubing is all the pressure you need. You haven't burnt any bridges. This can all be fixed pretty easy. Don't be discouraged from sharing. A guy has to learn somewhere. [/QUOTE]
