[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1609747, member: 26077"] The rifle sits horizontal in a vice or rest that supports the action and butt. All support must stop at the front of the mag well. The action is set into the stock, with the weight already in place on the forearm, and tightened down with the action screws. This pulls the action and barrel into the bedding compound. All there is on the barrel is the release agent, I use Carnuba wax, two coats both polished out to a shine. The idea behind the weight is to have the barrel bedded tight to the epoxy but when done and weight removed you end up with three to five pounds of upward pressure on the stock forearm to ensure it remains tightly bonded to the barrel. There is no free float in this method, if anything you get a little upward pressure. This also helps offset any weight applied by a Bi-pod. The whole idea is to stiffen the stock and remove the barrel whip. [/QUOTE]
