Can you tell me how an action is glued in a stock and how it is removed? What type glue, etc...
Thanks
Alex uses JB Weld. If it becomes necessary to separate the action from the stock, he applies heat to soften/weaken the glue to the point that they easily pull apart. Keep in mind it is typically not necessary to separate the two in order to change out the barrel or the trigger. Good luck!
The barrel and trigger are removable with the action glued in.
Now I have a question for you, assuming that the action is a single shot, why would you not glue it into the stock? Have you ever owned one (a glue-in) ? I guess that is two questions.
We dont use the 700 for competition any longer. All the popular actions now have trigger hangers. They drop out through the trigger guard.Stupid question I'm sure. I get how a barrel could be screwed on and off, but how do you change the trigger with the action glued in? All I've ever messed with are Remington 700's.

LOLHow does that work exactly? I figured usually the smith would leave the receiver on there and just poke a reamer thru the back with the whole lot spinning? With a barrel job on a glued-in receiver, do you need to have a super high precision one with known dimensions (BAT, etc)?
That makes sense. thanksWe dont use the 700 for competition any longer. All the popular actions now have trigger hangers. They drop out through the trigger guard.
That makes sense too. Sounds like something I would do. Appreciate the education.In the old days 2 small holes were drilled through the stock, aligned with the trigger pins that hold the trigger in the action. The pins could be driven out through these holes.
When you sell the gun and state it being "Top Quality", you don't have to worry about the buyer taking the action out of the stock and complaining about small pin holes in the bedding.Glue the trigger guard screws in too.
