Hey Folks. Just thought I'd throw up some pics of my progress so far. My B&C came in today, and I went at it with the dremel.

I cut the left side bolt notch out with a cut off wheel mostly, then shaped it with a sanding drum. Turned out pretty well I think.

Then I roughed the right side notch up and drilled some holes to give the Devcon something to hold onto.

And after using some 3m "bedding" tape from Midway, I dammed up the inside of the notch, filled it with Devcon, and then dammed up the outside. Release agent was sprayed on the inside of the tape.

It's not 100% flush with the edges, but I'm going to finish that out later.

After this all cures up, I'm going to be attempting to bed the stock. I'm still REALLY nervous about that rear pillar and the extremely close tolerance from the sear to the pillar. I've got modeling clay to pack all the gaps in with, and I'm figuring I'll wrap the bedding/masking tape around the entire trigger assembly/sear as well for extra insurance.
