Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing I'm in it now...bedding project

I decided to bed my Rem 700 VTR .308 tonite. It's the factory Tupperware stock so I don't have much to lose. Used a dremel with a router bit and sanding bit to route out material and rough up all the surfaces. The router bit was small enough that I used it to drill holes through the chamber walls so the epoxy would mechanically lock. I created a front dam using some plumbers putty and also plugged the front action hole with it. I used hot melt to glue the front action hole in the receiver (easy to remove later). After taping off all unglued surfaces I sprayed the action with cooking oil as a release agent. I worked the JB Weld into all the crevacies and dropped in the action. So far everything looks good, I will find out tomorrow!
