[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1884150, member: 103947"] I do the same thing. It tends to make people cringe when they think about epoxying a base rail to an action. Heating it really makes the glue soft and loosens the rail. No issues. I go one step further. I use a Dremel disc and cut an X between both screw holes on top of the action. Deep enough to make the epoxy grip better. I do the same on the underside of the pic rail. Again makes many people cringe but you never see those scores in the action of rail but they do make a difference. Pinning and 8/40 screws help if you want to tap larger. [/QUOTE]
