Stock bedding guide

[J.flanagan]

I've searched the forums and came up with very little in the way of a guide or how to when it comes to bedding a stock. Can anyone hook me up with a good resource or would anyone be able to pm back and forth with me for a bit?

There's about 693 Youtube videos on it. Send me a PM if you want to discuss.

Second the YouTube videos. Although, I don’t recommend using JB weld. Just speaking from some rather painful experience.

Robert Gradous has a few pretty good videos on YouTube.
Use plenty of release agent and the key is a lot of good prep work IMO.

There is a good video on Long Range Only.com on bedding.

It is ridiculously easy if you are marginally handy… just don’t forget the release agent!!

Are there video numbers 2, 3, and 4? I see this is 1 of 4 and I found another one that wasn't numbered.

Done it. Im not concerned about process… Was asking about dremeling out area of stock for adhesion? I have not taken material out befor with fine results. Yet its been shared a few times to create area… Think ill just take out 1/8 max depth on a few areas cant hurt, tang etc…

This is a Kimber Montana that I have curing right now. I like dremeling to 1) make some room so you don’t end up with a paper thin bed, 2) rough up the surface for adhesion, and 3) create little depressions to mechanically lock the bed in place.

I use MarineTex.

I just used 80 grit and sanded some out before application, should have added that, sorry I got ahead of myself
