[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 2244062, member: 109994"] Agreed! That's a great article. I've read it multiple times before. I like the route of putting pillars in first so that I know they'll sit on the bottom metal, but then when I go to bed the action, I don't know how I would get the action sitting directly on the pillars without any compound in between. Going the route of attaching them to the action and bedding all at once, I wouldn't be able to verify they would rest on the bottom metal. An alternative I've been thinking about is to attach the pillars to the action with the screws. Paint in some compound around the crevices between the pillar and action and clean up the sides of the pillars and excess from the action that is outside of the pillar area. Let it cure. Remove the screws. Now the pillars are attached and in direct contact with the action. Put the bottom metal into the stock and then remove enough wood from the action inlet so that the action only touches the pillars, which are resting on the bottom metal. Remove the action and put long headless action screws in. Then put the compound into the stock and set the action into the stock which has the pillars and "guide" screws attached to make sure you're aligned. But, I'm not sure how to prevent getting compound between the pillars and bottom metal doing it that way haha [/QUOTE]
