[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1775506, member: 38048"] Thanks for the kind words. I do my very best to give back to the community that has taken care of me. The shooting sports industry is such a place that is so tight nit of people that care back for each other. I've never seen it anywhere like it before. I will try and find the vid that comes the closest to my method. Being a master gunsmith I have had to try and find ways that are 100 percent repeatable and perfect results. They have to be perfect in looks and give the stress free job it needs to be for the great performance enhancement we are looking for. What I mentioned about small mistakes is what I seen in the pics of the op job he did. It is ok to have cosmetic flaws. They will not effect performance. I am discussing the finished pics right now. I was not on my other post but since we're learning here I will tell you my thoughts good and bad to be fair. Firstly you actually did a glass bedding job. You are now allowed to give experience info first hand. That was a big first step. Now for some thought on what I see. The glass is mostly complete. Some chips. Some spot like voids present on here and there. In the muzzle end of the lug is s large void. The top of action area is the worst offender because it's all visable when assembled. I can not tell you it's stress free because I didn't see the prep or method used. You can fix the edges around the top simple enough. The void behind lug I would leave be. If you grind into the edge of the glass around the top about 1/4 down and fill with bedding more than it needs you can wax up and screw the action down. It will squeeze the glass smooth up and down but mostly up out of the stock. Let this sit until the squeezed out bedding is tootsie roll consistently. Make a sharp corner on a popcycle stick and shave this stuff up. Don't dig below the stock line. Let dry all the way. Pop out the action and use a small sanding block on the little raised edge with 220 grit. Another way that works is to scrape it up good and then use a cleaning patch with solvent on the stock to barrel junction. This will clean up the thin layer of glass on the ledge. Then do the sandpaper to knock the little filet off. Reassemble and it should not have any visiable void around the top edge. Best to not get to this point and use the extra tiny amount of glass do that it flows out the top to begin with. So if you decide to cover the flaws around the top or not it won't effect anything but appearance. If you fix it show us that new look please. Shep [/QUOTE]
