[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1773798, member: 38048"] This is a very important but sticky party of gunsmithing. Yes there are tons of ways to do it. But only one result has to happen. A receiver tightened into the stock with no stress or binding at all. I'm only going to give a few tips here from 30 yrs of custom building. Use a paste wax or clear shoe polish. Put wax on with whatever you need to use to get it on and in. Let this dry and buff completely off. You must buff off the dry residue from the wax. If you don't it will be harder to remove. Waxing like this doesn't give you a build up enough to measure so your parts fit better I based Accra release one time and threw it on a shelf where it still raises dust to sell at end of yr. Accra release is a build up spray. Spray on a fluid and let it dry. Repeat. Between thickness of this spray and and glass that shrinks the fit isn't as tight. Then you need to clean all this spray build up off everything before assembly. Maybe they changed all this about it for I haven't used it but one time about 10 yrs ago. Always tape bottom of recoil lug. Or scrape glass away from bottom of recoil lug area. Any little scrape of glass or chip of anything goes in the lug bottom will cause a stress to push up. During my trainer to become a master gunsmith I was taught to tape front and sides and bottoms of the lug. I don't do it now. I only use score hi bedding. It is thick and creamy feeling that stays where you put it quite well. Mixes easy. Doesn't shrink. Doesn't chipbor crack. Plus it comes in tubes for use in a glue gun. Super nice feature. I also don't care for the middle screw. I back off all the torque and use some blue loctite to keep it from falling out on Remington adl. When holding the action for the epoxy to set I use the rear action screw to hold the back down. When the action is bottomed on the action pillars I use electric tape a few wraps around the chamber and stock to help hold it all down. If you polished the shoe shine polish off the metal and let it cure at least 24 hrs in the epoxy the barreled action will snap right up out of the bedding with no force what so ever. Shouldn't have to wiggle or jiggle it out. Shep [/QUOTE]
