[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 2003287, member: 2736"] I don't recommend using the action screws at all . Use headless screws with heat shrink to line the action up properly, and use spring clamps to hold the action in place while the bedding is curing. action screws can add a lot of force to the action with very little torque. 👍 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=metal%20spring%20clamps[/URL] Spring clamps don't load the action unevenly like the action screws can (they can also flex the action a few thousandths) so for a stress free bedding use the clamps. At least while installing the surgical tubing so the bedding is not disturbed. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
