[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 171998, member: 8843"] JB Weld will work but it does have more shrinkage and expansion than other better products like Marine Tex and Devcon Plastic steel putty , or the materials made for bedding like accra glass gel and Steel bed. 1) the crap that Remington has their cheap synthetic stocks made from is a polymer base so not a whole lot sticks to it realy well so first thing to do it remove the little plastic damns that are monded in their and rough it up inside realy well with like 36-40 grit sand paper then clean it out realy well with acetone and dry. 2) Use some sort of fast set epoxy to hold the shafts down in the forend just a little at the ends to hold them in place , after it has dried fill the bottom of the forend enough to cover the shafts. 3) just like in the forend you have to rough up and degrease the area thats gonna get bedded around the action. I like to fill the mag well and trigger housing areas with playdough so they don't get filled with bedding compound. Its a good idea to remover a bit of material in the bedding area and form some mechanical locks so that the bedding will be at least 1/8" thick this will allow it to be alot stronger and stay bonded to the stock. 4) !! Very important !! make sure you use pleanty of release agent on the barreled action put it everywhere that the bedding material might get close to.. I personaly like to remove the trigger group from the action that way theirs not any chance ofr getting bedding compound in it. Also make sure that you use pleanty of release on your bottom metal and screws. I like to use the Devcon Plastic Steel Putty because it stays where you put it and doesen't run ,it works just as well as Marine Tex and Steel Bed , you can get a 1lb kit from Brownells for about $25 that will do a few bedding jobs maybe 2 of the kind your doing with the forend bedding. I'm sure I'm forgetting somthing cause I'm tired and hungry [/QUOTE]
