[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 1323323, member: 17844"] If I am going to use the original military bottom metal I machine the front pillar off the bottom metal and the dimple off the lug or you can leave the dimple if the thread is shallow . This allows you to use two new larger pillars attached directly to the action and set the pillars in using the original inlet position . Put a tape roll around the barrel so it all sits in the original inlet position just nice without tilting . With pillars slightly longer than needed attached to the action epoxy only the pillars and hold the action down with tape or elastic cords . No screw pressure . When the epoxy is nearly hard but not full hard undo the screws holding the pillars on and remove the tape and action . Clean up any excess in the wrong place or on the action then refit the action with the screws and only semi tighten to keep it all straight but not fully tight . Leave 24 hours to harden . Remove the action and using a case trimmer head in a drill , machine off the excess length of the pillars down to flush with the stock inlet so the bottom metal sits square and flush as it did before . Then you have two solid contact points that will position the action in the same original position to continue the rest of the hog out and bedding . That video is garbage and the results shown are garbage . Leaving 24 hours before pulling apart could be dangerous and you could get a really stuck action . [/QUOTE]
