Pillars move (Pics added)
Tonight I was prepping a vlp stock to bed action and noticed pillars rotate with very little pressure applied. Bumped one with a chisel and it rotated. Is this normal for them to move like that? Do I need to glue them in place before bedding action? Anyone else noticed this?

Couldn't wait any longer. Removed the action screws. On one screw, the tape stayed in the pillar. Removed tape from around the tang. Slapped the stock flat handed and heard a snap. With alot of wiggling and a couple more slaps the action and barrel lifted free. WHEW! :o ;D I will post a pic below if I remember how.

These pics are just as they came apart. I am very pleased with the end result. Need to make a trip to town and pick up a dremel to dress up a few spots. I used kiwi as a release agent and moldeling clay and had no devcon stuck to the action or barrel. I'll post more pics as build progresses.

Looks good Ron! I don't see any noticeable voids. I see you went nutless on your build.

Thanks Aircraft. I have cleaned the tape and clay from stock and I do not find any voids anywhere. Didn't get to town this afternoon to pickup a dremel , hopefully tomorrow.
Yea, I went nutless. I wanted a 6CM to try at long range shooting. Bought a Kreiger barrel from Brunos in Az. and sent it to Dave Bruno (no relation) in Pa to get chambered. He is the smith that chambers barrels for the guy who designed this round. Any way I sent him my action and had him screw it together and install a SSS trigger. He also trued, lightend up the lift, and jewelled the bolt.

A couple of things. Use your dremel to remove the excess, my first bedding job I used a chisel to get rid of excess around the edge of the mag well and I knocked off some chunks where I did not want to. Also make sure you put a small radius on all the edge openings of where the recoil lug opening is, you don't want to knock off a piece of Devcon while you are putting the gun back in the stock.
If you did not put layers of tape on the bottom of the lug you should have. If you didn't you need to file off a little bit of the bottom of the recoil lug so that it never touches the Devcon. It is very important that the recoil lug has some bottom clearence.

Thanks Donald. The Manners is still on order :-\. Gonna mount my NF this week. Still no dtacs, they say shipping this week. Would sierra 100 grains work to ff?
Harrier, Thanks for the good advice. Did file the bottom of the lug, but never thought about the radius of the opening.
Ron.
