Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Question on glass bedding a pre-64 Model 70.

just like nothing ever happened.

incredible.

I'm really curious why Rick has not banned his crooked ass?

I mean, guys like Take_a_knee and Bricktop get banned.....and I'm in no way sticking up for them, but they weren't actively involved in ripping off forum members; they were just obnoxious. Safaridouche is known to have committed fraud, even on our own members, yet he is still around.

So, the pre 64's I have owned before have either been custom barreled or collector grade rifles that one should not tinker with. I am now the proud and excited owner of a nicely refinished (so no longer collector grade) pre 64 Westerner in 264 Win Mag. It even came with two extra barrels, both of them very clean and fresh so this rifle is likely to be my deer and medium game rifle for some time to come.

I want it to shoot its best, and be more stable in bad weather than an unglassed pre 64 would be, but I am not a fan of plastic on a classic rifle like this.


My query is this, when glass bedding such a rifle with its extra recoil lug out in the middle of the forend, is it generally the best practice to glass the whole barrel channel including the forward lug along with the action area? Just the front and rear recoil lugs? Part or all of the action area?

I have glassed many rifles with usually great results, but never a pre 64 Model 70 that still had its original barrel and stock.

THANKS a ton in advance for the ideas and help here! Mark

Thanks Dakota Deer, this is the type of useful information that I have come to expect here and offer up myself when I have knowledge, experience or expertise in an area of question or concern.

I will use your method and report back.

Yeah - pretty sick stuff.

Well hello SEAN!

I still consider you a friend, and as such I am going to take your suggestion at the end of your comments quite seriously. I will be away from the 'fire for a while while I weigh all of this.And yes, I will be praying that God will, as the prophet said "Search me oh God, and see if there be any wicked way in me." I have been having this conversation with others as I prepare to embark on life, part two. Also the words here of Rick Menefee (Mark, do you see what you are doing here?") and a couple of others here.

There is an old saying "If one man calls you an ass, you can disregard it, if two or more do, start shopping for a saddle"

Then in the book of proverbs we are called fools if we disregard the council of a friend. I do not want to be a fool, or to be any longer seen as one who would be dishonest.

This stuff has to be fixed, and now.

I will be away from the campfire for some time, except to communicate with folks who I have deals pending with in PM's only.

I do not expect any one here to give me any room or credence to any of this, I will have to prove it. And, it will take time and experiences for you all to see. But I am going to work at this and seek wise council and input.

I am not angry, or mad, more contemplating than anything else.

I do have an awesome and amazing second chance at life here, got to do it right.

See ya'll a bit later. PM's welcome but I won't be posting for a while.

Blessings abundant,

MARK

I think any future fleecing will require a border collie.

Maybe a couple of extra gall bladders got installed.
