[QUOTE="Rflshootr, post: 1841348, member: 10284"] The whole idea behind bedding is for it to be stress free. Go to the hardware store and get the 2 longest 1/4-28 bolts you can find. Cut the heads off and de-burr. then cut the threads off to a length of 3 threads left, de-burr, put a light coat of grease on the threads and screw them into the action finger tight. Take masking tape and wrap a ring around the barrel about 1/2" back behind the for end tip until it supports the barrel and the action is level. This will also keep the barrel centered in the fore end. Do all of your masking of the lug and anywhere else you don't want epoxy to go. Apply release agent. Once everything is fitted to your liking, put the stock level in a cleaning cradle, mix the epoxy, apply it in the stock and carefully set the action while aligning the modified bolts. Press it in with hand pressure and let it set up....when set up for 6-8 hrs, carefully unscrew and remove the bolts from the bottom. Finish the job as you normally would (curing, disassembly and clean up). No hose or anything else to put any stress on the action. Make sure release agent is on the bolts and action! [/QUOTE]
