Yes - the Devcon dual tube epoxy is available here too and I've also used JB with success. I'd like to get the Devcon in the 6oz. steel cans, though in a 50/50 mix, like I had back in the 70's. I haven't seen it around here for 30 years. What I real like about the exoxies, is being able to use ordinary synthetic axle grease for release agent. I leave it (or use it) on the bottom of the barrel and action as a rust inhibitor.

Daryl Check With McMillan Stocks For Devcon
They usually have stock material to sell. Have no link but somebody here has one for McMillan and Sons - Phoenix, Arizona.

Brownell's Steel Bed is amazing stuff. I'm sure it's just re-branded product.
Tighten-loosen action screws? I use the barrel with strips of tape in two places to center and allow the action to "float" in a bed of compound. I only use "Locating Pins" in place of action screws. I would think loosening and tightening the action screws at the critical moment of compound hardening wouldn't be good? A dial indicator with a magnetic base attached to the receiver and referencing stock and receiver movement after the bedding job is completed is the only real true test that your bedding job is successful. |

I don't use action screws when bedding a rifle's action - I use rubber bands, or merely masking tape to hold the action in the stock, the stock sitting level in a stand or the bench vise.
Works for me with no undue tension ever - the action becomes a perfect fit to the bedding or so it seems. Until I hear that's all wrong, I'll continue to do it this way.

Any opinions on Marine Tex epoxy?
The guys who built most of my stuff used Marine Tex epoxy. Any opinions on it?
I have used it myself to reshape a couple H&S Precision Rem Mdl 7 stocks for Nesika Bay T actions. As I have it around I have used it for a variety of household and shop repairs. It seems to be flow easier and for a longer period than the Acraglas I had years ago and seems more ductile when cured. Last edited by Varmit Dan; 04-28-2011 at 02:45 AM. |
