Finder crossed!
I generally steer my clients away from sinking any $$ in to a chi-wood. Too soft IMO to be good candidates for bedding etc.
So I would drop it in, check function, test fire, zero the sights and that would be it.
If a fella REALLY wanted it bedded, I wouldn't do anything but a skim bed @ $175.

I have to say that my '07 Norc that John.& I tore apart to put the IDF heavy kit into shot really well with the chu wood stock bedded (prior to the Isreali /G.I. surgery). Of course, I went full....uh, only about 80% ruhtard on it & that sucker shot well with irons out to 650 yards.
I think where I had success with that one is I already had a bit of draw pressure & when I hogged out my stock, I just made damn sure I could tie the topside Devcon with the bottom - trigger pad & rear pad both had 'troughs' that would tie into the upper level Devcon.
Not a quick process but works well in some rifles.

Patience is a virtue of which I have none.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
USGI parts kits are the find of (almost ) a lifetime for you M14 lovers. I bought two of them and then clients bought them off me as I completed them.
Which set would you rather have LEGO or DUPLO??
