[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1726905, member: 69192"] I have a glass bedding dilemma that I would like other's opinions on. I have a friend who wants me to pillar bed/glass bed his pre-64, Winchester model 70 in .270 Winchester. The stock is not original, the checkering was nearly sanded off, and I don't know what it "had" on it for a finish, but it's gone!! The walnut stock is a nice piece of wood, I redid the checkering, the stock is still unfinished. I've got the pillar bedding done, and....now the dilemma!! This rifle has a screw that goes through the stock and into the barrel about half way down the length of the barrel. I've glass bedded a number of rifles over the years, but....never one with a screw half-way down the barrel!! The process that I usually use is to relieve the wood around the recoil lug and then glass bed around the recoil lug and the first 4 inches of the barrel channel in front of the recoil lug,[U][I] and[/I][/U] then float the barrel the rest of the channel by around .020 thousandths with plumber's tape. I cannot do this process with a screw that is around 10 inches in front of the recoil lug. Do I glass bed the entire barrel channel just past the screw and then float the barrel, or glass bed the entire channel!!??? Presently my thoughts are leaning toward glass bedding from the recoil lug down the entire barrel channel. Anyone with any suggestions, knowledge or experience with this situation?? [/QUOTE]
