JRS said:My response was directed only, to your "newer adhesives like JB". JB Weld is great for many things Boyd. A combustion chamber certainly isn't one of them. As a matter of fact, JB Weld advises it NOT be used in a combustion chamber. It's pretty strong stuff, but, won't withstand pressures like that. With the more modern stocks and bedding materials available today, glueing and screwing has only one advantage. It's the easiest and quickest way to seat the action.

It's not so much the weight of the screws, but the weight of the stock needed to support the screws (or pillars). This only matters on 10.5# guns, where less weight in the stock means more weight in the barrel where it can do some good. A straight glue-in prevents the screws being tightened too much and thereby adding stress to an otherwise stress-free bedding. Screws don't provide any useful function if the glue is working.

Screws do provide a useful function, i had one come apart only the tang screw held it together and it was just finger tight. No glue no screws torqued just laying in stock it would shoot 3" groups at 1000 yds. …….. so much for the importance of torquing screws……. jim![]()
