Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing "O"- rings for accuracy

Hi Pat. Basically, I want the inletting to allow for a consistent, adequate thickness of compound.....you don't want thick and thin spots. This insures consistent stability of the bedding and gives a lot more longevity.

This one just got done...the pic is right after the barrelled action was removed and prior to final clean up, chamfering and edge rounding. On this one, the inletting was lowered so there would be a consistent .125 of bedding thickness. That includes over the top of the pillars.

There's a lot of mistakes commonly made in bedding. Inadequate compound thickness isn't the biggest no-no. But it's in the Top 5.

Good shootin' -Al
