I have a friend who wants me to bed a rifle that he just acquired that has a carbon fiber barrel.
I am used to bed steel barrels but have some concerns about this expensive carbon fiber barrel
Normally I apply a release agent (clear shoe wax), tape off the stock, fill all the voids, mix the epoxy and set the stock.
(I am leaving out a lot of details to get to the barrel)
I am concerned about getting epoxy on the barrel and cleaning it off as part of the mess of bedding. Am I going to damage the barrel finish with any of the clean up solvents?
Is there anything I need to know to do differently with this barrel?
Appreciate any advice
Thanks
