JB Weld and WD-40. Emphasis on the WD-40   :tup:

If you're good with a razor and masking, it will even look good.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Yorke, I used an oil based pomade as a release agent one time and it was actually the best I've used!

PAM and that devcon steel stuff is probably the best. Devcon plastisteel.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Marinetek grey is inexpensive and specs out about like Devcon Titanium and is available at local marine store for about a third of a can of Devcon.  But if planning ahead no reason not to use Devcon Titanium.

13k Compression vs 15k Devcon
1800 Adhesion vs 2000 Devcon
4000 Tensile vs 2000 Devcon

Clear ( neutral) kiwi shoe polish works for release agent.

My new stock showed up yesterday. Everything went together nice, fit and finish looks awesome. I did have to add about a 3/32” aluminum shim under the recoil lug to get free float clearance around the barrel. That made my front action screw just a little too short, one full turn to torque spec.
Called Browning for a longer screw, no dice. Called Stockys, they offer longer screws for Remington and Winchester rifles, no Browning. So went down to the local gunsmith and asked about a source for the screw. He said it will have to be made, it would be expensive but he could do it. Showed him the rifle and new stock. He looked it over, checked barrel clearance with his dollar bill than took it in the back to take a closer look. Brought it back and said he could bed the action for 350.00 dollars, it would probably take a full day, and probably 12 weeks out to start. I thanked him for his time and left.
Stopped by the hardware store on the way home and picked up a couple of 1/4”x 28 tpi stainless bolts. I think I could chuck one up in my hobby lathe and come pretty close to what I need.
Been watching a few YouTube videos on action bedding, we will see.
Taking it to the range this weekend to see if my groups closed up any.
MAGA, Never give up.

I have bunch of 3" long stock screws sitting around just in case I need to make longer ones for any of the guns. It's pretty easy to trim it down to length even with a Dremel or a grinder. Just be sure to clean up the threads before threading it into the action.

This is a great article on how to bed a rifle if you haven't seen it yet. There was a video at one time, but it's a pretty old article and the video is gone now.
