    Bedding boyds stock


    I have a boyds thumbhole i would like to bed. Since the stock doesnt have pillars installed and dont have the proper equip to install them. Can and will a glass bedding job be just as effective? Do i fill magazine well with modeling clay? stagerfeed by the way.

    I just glass bedded a classic. I din&#39;t use any clay or playdough. just don&#39;t pour the epoxy in! Its workable if you get some in, that you can cut or grind it back out.
    A little is all it takes. Make sure you use your release agent, I take it you&#39;ve read the articles about what to do...

Wish someone i knew personal knew somethn most smiths in the area would rather make the money than let ya see whats goin on. Oh well whats the worst that can happen get a mechanical lock and not get it apart!!!!

    Yes, but float the tang with masking tape as you do the barrel, saves a little work with the grinder.
