[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1807888, member: 2736"] In my opinion, a pillar should be touching the receiver and the floor metal. Metal to metal to metal. The choice of materials for the pillars ar up to you but i recommend a material that has a very low expansion rate so it changes with the receiver. I like to use stainless or chrome molly depending on the receiver materiel. but for durability in bad weather I just use stainless. Can't say what shape is best to use on the contact area of the receiver, but I do like the pillar shaped the same radius as the receiver (I use a mill for this but if you dont have a mill flat is ok but you don't get as big of a footprint. Gaping the pillar defeats the purpose of the pillar by using a compressible material Even though most bedding materials are very hard they can compress, loose torque and not return to the original position after long periods of time. and cause a shift in the POI and also render a stress free bedding useless. Just My opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
