well I've done it I've successfully bedded my first rifle and i believe it was a success.
first I disassembled the gun and taped shut the ejection hole.
than I filled it with a shopping bag and plastercine as well as all the nooks and crannies.
I also added some small stub screws that were wrapped in electricians tape to make sure the action was lined up properly.
I then roughed up the inletting and taped off the stock.
the next step was to add the release agent. I used kiwi neutral shoe polish for this and it worked great.
I then added the bedding material at the front and back there were no pics of this as I didn't want to mess up the camera.
I used brownells acragel for this, I mixed up 2 tbsp of the stuff and should have only made half that amount but i didn't want to be short.
I suggest halving an additional popsicle stick to help clean the one off as you are applying it.
then the action was placed into the stock and taped down.
now the finished result.
now I cant wait for nice weather so i can really test it out.
