Never been into a Pep Boys but you can get it from Brownells for about $10. Each tin will do about 8 stocks so it is very cheap.

Regarding the Winchester stocks, they bed quite well. I use a dremmel to route out the recoil mortice and surrounding areas. It is very difficult to write about bedding especially in a forum like this and extremely easy to demonstrate it or write about it with supporting slides.

I really recommend you stay away from it if you have never seen it done as you will most likely ruin your stock though most balls-ups can be fixed, such is the benefit of Devon which in the steel version is also black and blends in with the Winchester stock well.


When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
