Bedding compound fitted with no release agent

[Marco]

I have heard of this type of bedding. i beleave there is a local smithy in toowoomba that does this type of bedding. he does it this way where he doesnt require the use of any hold down screws,the thought is it even out the tension on the action and floats the barrel, and the only way to remove the action is to use hammer and chisel.

stupid idea.
not only does it cause dud accuracy but it stuffs the stock to fix it.
not practical....not at all.

Hey Vermingone, no prob’s as long as it ain’t mechanically locked up e.g. compound in screw holes or recesses etc. then ya gonna have to do a bit of demo work... if not and it was just a poor release agent application or none at all Just chuck it in the freezer for a couple of days and it will pop right off not a drama at all mate... and you will probable save the bedding as well and then just chuck the stock into the mill and machine out the barrel channel section ya want removed and float as much of the barrel as you like, hope it helps

All the best

Thanks for the replies Fellas.
John there is some compound in the screw holes but I'll try that anyway
