BEGINNERS tutorial for stock bedding - plastic stock

[JR Hartman]

Hey, I'd really like to attempt bedding my 783, but I don't want to do it two or 3 times or frig it up.

Something simple and foolproof would be nice.

Something that not only talks about how but why its done that way.

something that doesn't use only big name parts and supplies, but uses readily available stuff when possible.

its a plastic stock with front and rear bedding pillars.

I have already opened up the forestock to make sure its free floated.

thanks all

I just did my first bedding job on a wildcat stock. I had to sort through a pile of YouTube and reading, taking bits and pieces from everywhere. I was nervous as hell, but with a lot of tape and release agent (lol), it went perfectly. Sorry I can't point you in the exact direction to info, but don't let it stress you like it did me, it was actually a pretty simple procedure all in all. Once I jumped in, everything flowed smoothly.

Youtube is pretty good, look for one called Road to Precision.

Search the board, I'm sure there are a couple of threads with in-depth explanations and photos.
