Rifle bedding tips and tricks - 01/17/24
I re-read Northern Dave's thread on his DIY bedding. It's a good thread. I've done prob 30-40 bedding jobs over the years but I'm still trying to figure out how guys get the nice neat perfect forward edge of the bedding under the first inch or 2 of barrel. I've tried the clay dam, Dremel a perfect edge, Exacto knife, and simply leaving it as is.
How do you all get that perfect forward edge on your bedding jobs?
Also, I know guys that take the action out after 4-5-6 hours before the epoxy cures. The thought being the epoxy is easier to clean up before it fully cures. Won't wedging the action out of the stock prior to the epoxy being cured cause 'slop' in critical aress? I'm thinking the recoil lug especially.
Any other good tips/tricks?
Thanks.
