Great Idea BSA.

I just finished up inletting a new hunk of walnut for my 59 Alaskan. I installed pillars and marine tex'd the entire action. Basically zero metal is touching wood anywhere. Even the bottom metal is totally sealed with epoxy. Barrel is totally floated and I am not using the forend screw. Now I have to sand the stock down to final form, finish and checker. I plan on doing some wet testing when done to see if massive exposure to precipitation will cause point of impact changes.

Here is a quick peek. I have the entire process documented so far, but it is far from done.
