A few bedding jobs this week

[1shot]

I need to learn the stress free part.
Every time I paint a stock for someone it stresses me out!

It sure doesn't show in your work!

If I could/would have a bedding job finish up like any of those. I probably wouldn't use the stock, hang it on the wall for inspiration. Is it possible to have a synthetic stock bed that nice?

Sure!

Beyond excellent work. What do you charge and what state do you live in?

I have a rifle that I'm re barrelling and must open the barrel channel a good bit. Is there a tool I can use for this or is it just a dowel, sandpaper and elbow grease. Great bedding jobs, wish I could do half as good.

A Mill and a Core Bit does Wonders!
But your way will work

You can use a gunsmith wrasp. These are round rasps with the handle offset to allow you to lay it flat in the channel without taking out your knuckles.

Very nice.

I'm thinking of bedding the recoil lug area on a chassis. Do you have any thoughts on minimum bedding thickness in that area? How rough should the aluminum be under the bedding?

I have Devcon steel epoxy and am planning to use carnauba wax and PVA as release agents.

Thanks.

Thanks guys for the info.

And they come in various sizes

I just put my hands on one of Kieth's rifles. I put it together for someone else, sadly it wasn't mine. Those pictures look good but...they do not really do justice. All I can say is WOW! You just know this thing is gonna shoot.
