New version of bedding?

[FrankG]

So humor for the day. Thought I'd seen it all but this is a new one....

Using 4 pieces of electrical tape for a bedding job!

What are people thinking at times?

So humor for the day.

That’s almost as good as a silicone o ring.

Probably heard about it on a Hornady Podcast.

How did it shoot?

How did it shoot?

I bought the rifle used. Got it for a pretty fair price. Guy said it was used and it hadn't been shot in years but it never shot good. So it was just sitting in his gun cabinet and decided to get rid of it.

On top of the tape bedding job... the bore is pitted, lands are solid copper as well as the barrel is carbon fouled as well and the crown is all hacked up.

So going to redo it in 22-250.

Tape, glue, whatever works.

I wonder why it wouldn't shoot ¿????

 

[L.Sherm]

Probably blamed the barrel lol

Winchester used hot glue in the recoil lug mortise and tang area several years back now. Lol!

C'mon now, aren't you curious? Shoot it! May be a tack driver! I'm sure we've all seen stranger things...

 

[SSL]

Not that surprised. It used to be common to "float" a barrel by placing a couple layers of business card under the barrel just in front of the lug. Just a different version of that I guess.

 

[swd]

Can’t be any worse than Winchester’s hot glue in the lug recess that never fully hardens, LOL

Frank, he didn’t even attempt to unify the barrel and forend; that barely even registers a smile “this” is the most extreme thing I have done to an old Remington. Yes, it worked, to the extent that the Harris bipod became the limiting accuracy factor, and fairly well ruling out other means of support/tracking. I used it first, patent chasers.

 

[30EX]

That's called " Group Tightener "

 

[CJ6]

How many ft/lbs on those clamps? Patent chaser..

[Ledd Slinger]

I’m an electrician so I get it. We use that tape for everything! Lol

 

[Fast14riot]

I forget which gun it was, but when I pulled it out of the stock it had layers of vinyl tape at the end of the fore end, for a pressure point. And a matching rusty spot on the barrel. At least I can understand the pressure point. But not behind the lug like that!

That is just to stop it rattling in the gun shop.

Off topic, and thinking about retailers....In the early days of LCD TV's, Sony had a colour profile, which was activated by shops, which made them look good under fluorescent lights.

I’ve seen that before. Same thing on one of the aftermarket stock makers for Ruger M77s back in the day, but can’t remember the name of the company. Browning would use a small blob of what looked Acraglass in the lug area that looked like somebody threw it at the stock with a spoon from 6 feet away then screwed it together. Lol
