Don't know if this will help anyone or not. Had been waiting to get some Devcon so I could bed my stock. Got tired of waiting and went to the local Napa to see what they had available. Noticed some stuff on the counter that was called Magnum steel, also it said it could be drilled and tapped. My opinion was that if it was strong enough for this it would possibly be used for bedding. On the first try I waited too long to put the action into the stock and the stuff set up too quick, on the second try everything went well. After this got to looking at the package and noticed it was made by VersaChem, a division of Devcon. Called Devcon and started asking Question's and it's the same thing as the steel putty except made for the retail consuming public. I'm not saying it's better than Steel Putty just easier to get hold of and less expensive and it worked for me. BTW- it took care of that one flyer I was alway's getting ;D
