Educational Zone #75 - Bedding a Rifle Stock - Page 2

I mix the two parts on an index card with a toothpick.

Then use the toothpick to spread it where the action beds into the stock.

I also like to put a little where the rear of the action contacts the stock.

Be very sure that all areas of the action that will contact the JB Weld are coated with release agent (car wax).

Then place the action back in the stock and loosely replace the action screws.

You don't want to tighten them too much as it will only "squish" the JB Weld out of the area.

Just tighten them enough to be sure the action is where it will be when it is finished.

Then you wait for about 3 or 4 hours. This allows the bedding material to dry to the touch.

Then remove the screws and hope it all comes apart.
