[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1702454, member: 57533"] And in a previous thread it was said by a so called gunsmith that if the joe public attempt any sort of gunsmithing then we are stupid, words to that effect anyway(cant recall exactly). I had one bedding job done professional & all they actually did was around the recoil lug. I expected the whole action to be bedded! For $120 I though it was a rip off! I have now done 3 of my own bedding jobs & would never risk going back to a gunsmith for such a job as its something I have trained myself to do competently. Other complex things like reaming/headspacing a barrel or trigger work(apart from basic spring changes) I am happy for a pro to do. The issue is finding a decent one that's local to you, especially when their are fewer option like there are here in Australia. I hope you get it sorted but I would be seeking a refund or even a stock replacement from whoever it was that did the **** poor job! Edit: sorry I didn't realise I was breaking the rules. I will replace that line with urinate poor job :confused: [/QUOTE]
