[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1702550, member: 24284"] I'd say that's some pretty nasty lookin' work! These days, anyone who's chambered a barrel or slapped some bedding compound into a stock is called "a gunsmith". In reality, it takes far more know-how than most seem to think. The interdnet perpetuates all sorts of myth, mystery and "how I did it , so it must be right" stuff. First rule should be do no harm. The second rule should be, the work should not be sloppily done. That's not followed as much as it should be, both by owners or 'gunsmiths'. Glass bedding should be done to eliminate stressing the action by the guard screws as they are being tightened . If pillars are installed the guard screws should in no way touch those pillars. I'm like varmint hunter, I don't think you'll get the stock replaced, and the money you paid for that nasty bedding job may or may not be refunded. It can be fixed by someone who knows what they are doing. [/QUOTE]
