Bedding with internal mag

[Sh40674]

Rear pillars are a pain. Added some to the boyds pm my wife and kids .35 rem I built. Used the lamp tube method. Stock tore out drilling the holes. You can see the bottom of this pic behind the pillar I had to rebuild what was torn out with some Devcon. Ended up shooting sub MOA, so not bad for a .35 remington lol

Here is another example of a Boyd's stock. In this case an At-one Thumbhole. After about 9-10 months of use all of a sudden the groups fell apart and after taking it down to investigate I found that the ply had de-laminated between the mag well and the trigger well. So I contacted Boyd's and explained what happened. They agreed to replace it but wanted proof of destruction, as the didn't want it back. So I had to cut it in half and email them the photo.



Boyd's now includes directions to not over torque the action screws.

I usually remove material at the pillars and recoil lug and then drill some small angled holes to create a mechanical lock before rebuilding these areas with epoxy when I do a bedding job on wood or laminate.I also dont bed ahead of the recoil lug and ensure the rear of the lug is the only part making perfect contact there. I never had much luck with a thin or skim bed.
Just my preference and worth exactly what you paid to read it.
Good luck I hope your bedding job holds up and shoots well.
