[QUOTE="DougH9, post: 114410, member: 3802"] I appreciate all of the tips and feedback. I wish now I had tried the freezer. A full day of soaking the action in stripper, and I got all of the bedding removed. It stuck so hard, that it pulled the bluing off the bottom! The bottom of the reciever is now a mottleing of polish-blue/matte-blue. The release was the Acra Release, but in the liquid bottle. I applied two coats with a super fine bristled brush. I did not degrease the reciever before though (could that be the problem?) In the past I avoided the blue release that Brownells sells because I thought that it was too think, and you would not get a tight as fit as with the watery stuff. I may do a little experimenting with the little bit that is left over in this kit, (clean vs a little oily)and see if I can duplicate what happened. [/QUOTE]
