I would use something other than JB Weld to do your bedding next time. JB Weld tends to run into areas it is supposed to and is brittle once it dries completely. I use Devcon Steel Putty, it is a thick putty that stays where you put it. Marinetex is also a good one from what I have been told but I personally have never used it. Devcon comes in "individual" use packages and are about the same price as JB Weld, you just have to find a place that sells them. They can be bought online in 1 pound containers as well as individual packages. The first 1 pound container I bought lasted through at least 6 bedding jobs could have done more but I always make more than what I think I will need.
As far as getting the action out of the stock her is what I do when I have one that seems stuck. I will loosen the action screws. Take a rubber mallet and smack the top of the receiver. If that doesn't work then I hold the gun by the muzzle and smack the barrel about midway between the muzzle and the stock using harmonics to hopefully release it. I have had them "pop" out and sound almost as loud as a 22 when they release. I never hit the stock, always the action or barrel.
If all else fails I put everythig in either a freezer or outside in the cold weather for a few hours then do what I said above. It has always come apart when frozen. And again always hit the barrel or actin and not the stock.
Next time use Kiwi clear polish as a release agent, works great every time.
Hope this helps
