[QUOTE="PRCLITE, post: 1528011, member: 77124"] I bedded my picatinny rail to the top of my Christensen ridgeline this morning and it actually came out beautiful. This is the third one I’ve done so I wasn’t completely ignorant about the process. The problem is that somehow someway I’ve ended up with hardened epoxy in the front screw hole. All the other screws came out with no epoxy in the holes. The funny part is the screw came right out and actually threads just fine. It will thread down enough to hold the rail in place but there is epoxy in the bottom of the screw hole. I must have pushed some epoxy down with the screw initially or something. The epoxy does not interfere at all with the bolt operation or the intended purpose of the screw but it is bothering me that it is in there. My thought is to get a really small drill bit to drill it out but I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what will happen if the bit accidentally hits the bottom of the chamber. Looking for the experts help please... I don’t want to screw up my new rifle!!! [/QUOTE]
