Do it yourself Stock making thread

Please help, where do I find the aluminum insert that a 700 action bolt goes through. Set into stock.
Thanks

Are you talking about aluminum pillars? They can be purchased on Midway, Brownells, ebay and most stock manufacturers.

Josh as good farmer would of used some coloured baling twine in that project aswell. Us to work for a bloke who's dad would fix a boundary fence with and tell us all that the sheep and cattle wouldn't get out anymore thro that hole. Next morning sure enough the mob of sheep be in the national park . Would just drive off and start laughing to ourselves saying yep that works . As long as it works that's the main thing I reckon . Have made a few dry rotators for doing timber lure bodies aswell.

I took the gun to the range today to get an idea of how it shoots with the Hornady 123 and a couple different powders. I was testing some pistol caliber carbines and shot on the 50 yard range. I’ll shoot at 100 with this information.

I just took a action out of a stock and happened to see the pillars are higher than the bedding. The bedding has shrank and left the pillars stinking out of the bedding. So now guess I need to re-bed , don't remember what I used to bed the stock .

The one time I tried it without a tent, bugs landed on the wet epoxy and got stuck, causing a redo.

This is exactly why I just picked up an old gun cabinet. Keep the bugs and dust off stocks while the oil cures.

... should have got a bigger cabinet.
