Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Throw-together 7mm-08 and...Had a go at filling barrel channel

Had all of the components and sent them to Redneck to screw the barrel on. Bought the Mtn Rifle barrel here for $60. Had the action with the Kampfeld Ti bolt treatment for awhile. The 1st Gen Ti stock came off of a GAP rifle, and the barrel channel swallowed the MR barrel.

Had my first go last night and didn't use enough Marine Tex to squish out, so had to mix some more this morning and fill in the rest. I bedded the lug last night, and decided to skim bed the action today. Everything turned out great. I used the 20 mil pipe tape to free float the barrel. Can't wait to see how it shoots. I believe I'll send it off to Metalife to get it hard chromed after test firing.
