OK, I don’t know if it’s the best, but it sure made it easy to pop the action out of a new bedding job.
I held a can of compressed air upside down and sprayed inside the action, brrrrrr it got real cold and popped. After the pop I was able to remove with very little wiggle, straight up pull. The action was out for a minute and I thought to grab the recoil lug (Borden BRMXD center lug) for a temp check, surprisingly it was still very cold to the touch.
I was actually looking at building a jig to lift the action straight out and had the intention of using the jig every time I remove an action to limit damage to the bedding. Now I will hit it with the upsidedown compressed air.
I did a search on here and didn’t find any reference to this, which surprised me, I’m sure folks have used this or some other similar cooling method.
A nightforce scope was harmed in the formation of this idea.
Side note, I’ll beat Alex Wheeler to the punch, great test for proving the advantage of glue-ins.
