How much release agent did you use?  Did you use clay to block the bedding compound from oozing into areas it was not supposed to go? 

Sent you a PM.

I was wondering the same thing, if the bedding oozed into the trigger area and the threads of the action screws, it could be a real issue and not fixable without destroying the stock and trigger to save the barreled action.

Good thing is, stocks and triggers are plentiful. :tup:

I used all of the bottle that came with it, I also covered all screws with it.  All in all I used a lot.

Unless you really slathered the compound on, the aforementioned tip should pop her loose. But again, the offer stands to lend a hand. We bed a good share of rifles every week, and prefer Dev- Con for most applications, including skim jobs. My guess is its some ooze tensioning on the sides of the trigger lock work, unless again, it's was really piled on.

typically after the bedding is cured the action will appear to be stuck because you just created a 1:1 fit, hold the gun by the stock in your hands and hit the bottom of the barrel on a covered table and it should pop it loose if you clayed the right spots and got good coverage with the release agent.
believe the bullet!

I tried but I can't get the screws to move, the middle one comes out but the other two are stuck.
