BAT M 1.47" Octagon bedding tool

[Thegotoguytx]

Brain trust,

I recently posted here looking for a Panda bedding tool and eventually found one. Now I'm looking for a 3D printed or CNCd bedding tool for a BAT M 1.47" Octagon with integral front recoil lug. Cut outs for a dual port model would be a bonus as well so the stock builder can make the proper cut outs.

Is there anyone out there making these? I don't want to remove the action I have, and my new action won't be ready until mid next year (ish) but my stock is ready to bed. I have the drawings from BAT, who's a 3D printer wizz?

Just a bit of advice, while your on this path. The surface of any 3d printed item will not be the same as your action and you will have to skim bed the action then it arrives. Your jig may also become mechanically locked in your bedding compound due to the ridges in the printing process. Use lots of wax on your jig if you go forward with your plans. Clean the bedding thuroughly to remove the wax when finished.

I *think* he just wants a 3d printed model so the stock can be inletted.

I hope, at least.

I thought the same at first, but the last sentence says the stock is ready bed.

Greg’s website doesn’t seem to show the printed actions anymore, or am I missing it somewhere?

I only make them to order. I have several now so I'll set up the printer and get to work PM me

So initially I wanted something to send to the stock maker for inletting and since I have an awesome jig for a Panda thats milled aluminum I figured if I could get one of those made I could kill 2 birds.

3D Printed material won't work for bedding, it wouldn't look very nice either once removed.

Not a big deal if I can't find one. I'll wait or send Chris the BAT I have now and do without shooting that rifle for a few weeks (it's not like I don't have other rifles I can shoot lol)
