BTDT. I don't use all that blue tape though. Nice bedding job, nonetheless.
Thanks. Yes, often you are refinishing the stock as a part of the bedding job, in which case there's little need to protect everything. For this stock, i really didn't want to mesa up the factory finish.
Too bad it's a weatherby and not what the OP was asking about.....
Ha! Yeah, I figured the Weatherby might not find too much love on this forum
As for the OP, I won't be fitting any pre-64 actions to a post-64 stock anytime soon. Regardless, the bedding procedure would be pretty much the same.
