[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 1213772, member: 9281"] Could really use some help from experienced stock bedders. This is a factory stock off of a Rem 721. It has been bedded to the recoil lug with Devcon 10110. I have been having some consistency issues trying to work up a load with this thing and have pretty much ruled everything else out. In troubleshooting I pulled the stock off tonight and applied a light coat of white lubriplate grease on the bottom of the receiver metal and lightly snugged up the receiver screws to see if I had consistent contact. I did not fully contact in the areas around the main receiver screws. When I torque the screws down it will pull the stock in and make full contact. I noticed on the bottom of the receiver there are several spots where the blueing has been rubbed off. From a lot of years working in the diesel industry this looks a lot like "fretting" we would see between main bearing cap bolt heads and the main bearing cap. It indicated the surfaces were working against each other ever so slightly. Is this what's going on here? The recoil lug has a great fit, I wouldn't think the stock could move around this much. Please advise! Greatly appreciated! Bare metal just behind recoil lug [ATTACH]62755.vB[/ATTACH] Bare metal on bottom of receiver behind trigger around rear screw threads [ATTACH]62756.vB[/ATTACH] Bare metal showing on sides of receiver as well [ATTACH]62757.vB[/ATTACH] It's hard to see but to the right of the rear receiver screw hole where the devcon meets the wood there is a spot in the wood where the finish has been rubbed off of the wood [ATTACH]62758.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
