All my Axis' are in Boyd's stocks, but I have a Ruger American .233 with the plastic stock. I tried to bed it with JB Weld and had a hell of a time getting it to stick where the receiver meets the sides of the stock. It's easy enough to still out some sections in the fore barrel/lug section to get it to stay put. So not sure if the Axis plastic would be the same, but I bet it is. It's like they coated it in teflon ;-)
