stock bedding

[nicolas]

Before I embark on a major painting session in my little house, every room needs a coat or two before baby arrives, I have given myself one shooting related task to do 'Rebed my H.S precision .308'.

Now before you guys say a H.S action should just drop into a H.S stock this H.S stock came off a customshop remi 700 not a h.s action.

A couple of points have arrisen whilst doing my homework:-

Devcon 10761 (UK Number) is the prefered bonding compound and it is f******g expensive £47 thats $78 a pop at least !!! I have used it before and it is great, not to runny and sets at a pretty slow rate.

Having a metal chasis already in the stock I'm going to mill out the front lug and mill a couple of 1/8" slots for bonding purposes.

The saftey catch on the H.S is built into the bolt so the gap on the right hand side of the stock needs to be filled.

I will try and post a step by step guide however I have found a good youtube guide which is posted below, the Devcon product is the same as I'm using its pretty much the standard item to use.

After the last photo I spent a good couple of hours fettling out the over spill, it came off very easy. I must admit I over did it a bit with the putty but I was warned to much is better than to little, as repeating the process to fill the gaps could be hard work.

Talk about icing a cake, sure you aren't a baker? Any troubles popping it out of the stock?

Seperating the action from the stock is a very hairy moment but I'm no 7 stone weakling so it popped pretty easy.

Also remember 'to much' is far better than 'not enough', just as long as you use loads of release compound. Going backl and filling gaps is apprentley a nightmare.
