[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 180875, member: 4885"] I left the clay about 1/8" below the bedding line, so I ended up with almost 1/4" of steel bed over the channel. It was easy removing the clay. I pushed an all thread through the clay a couple times and then using the largest bronze brush I had, I used a cleaning rod and pushed/pulled a couple dozen times and the clay was removed (all over the floor!). Its very solid, I only bedded between the action holes. Everything else forward and backward is free floating. The only thing I don't like is, the screws aren't super solid because of the give in the stock under the head of the screws. I think a couple escutcheon's that spread the load a bit would help. Maybe I'll remove the laminate from the screw hole up to the bottom of the bedding and fill with steel bed. Then redrill the hole, so I've essentially removed any compressible material and made pillars from steel bed. ?? AJ [/QUOTE]
