Glass Bedding A Synthetic Stock

[300UltraMagShooter]

Anyone ever done this? 

If so, was it worth it? 

[Huntbear]

More than worth it in my opinion!  Also, I would make sure I put pillars in it as well.  Use some Devcon in the recoil lug area, for added strength.

I've never heard of it. Tell us more

Did it for my wife and made it more accurate.  Of course guns now a days shoot more accurate than 99% of the people behind them anyways.

In my opinion it's the best do it yourself project you'll undertake that will make a noticeable improvement in your accuracy.  I use the Arcaglas Gel, seems a little easier to keep it where it belongs.

Aymore I lighten the triger, bed the lug, and float the bbl on every new rifle before I even shoot it. I've never seen bedding hurt.

What exactly does it do? make the stock heavier? seat the barrel to the stock better?

It would sure be nice if one of you guys "in the know" could do a thread detailing the steps on how to do these things, WITH PICTURES!!!!! hint hint hint

I would even volunteer to come take close up pics to post if someone wants to tackle this, unless you can do it yourself

[Jamieb]

Its easy to do. I've seen posts on other boards with good pictures. I'll dig up a post and link it here. Thats not against any rules, is it?

[huntnphool]

Bring it on

I think would be an interesting topic.  I have always wondered what was involved in doing this.

Here's a link. http://www.rdprecision.net/diy2.html
I only do the lug area ( from the front of the mag well to 1 1/2" in front of the lug)
I used to do the entire action, tang, and bottom metal but just catching the lug seems to be enough.

[Jamieb]

Some advise for a first timer. Degrees all the metal( I use acetone) and use release agent on ALL metal that MIGHT come in contact with the bedding material. For tape on the front and sides of the recoil lug, I use electrical tape. I've bed all my rifles and most of my friends new rifles, if I can do it anybody can. There's enough bedding material in one of the brownell kits from SW to do three or four rifles.

[509er]

So basically you are just locking the action in place by molding around it.  Correct?

[huntnphool]

That bedding material looks like Duraglass
