Also, when pillar bedding a gun with a blind mag, there's that little metal tab that goes over the rear pillar that holds the mag box in the stock. I'm going to a Boyds laminate. Do people normally keep that little funky clip in there? I feel like things would be more solid without it.
When I bedded the Axis, I do the bedding and pillars all at once. Install the pillars on the bottom of the action, and drop it over into the bedding compound, doing it all in one shot. That's the way I'd planned to do this one, but that little clip has me trying to figure out what to do about it.
Thought about just getting rid of the clip, and putting a dab of epoxy on each corner of the mag box and clamping it into the stock, that way I wouldn't need the clip.
Thoughts/experience?
