[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1702684, member: 33751"] Make him buy you a new stock and send it to another smith. I screwed up a few bedding jobs on my own rifles when I was first getting started. I have lost a spring or two on customers guns when they spring out into the shop never to be found again. I have however always made it rite, out of my own pocket. I'd make the smith replace the stock for sure. However, just some advice. When you do get a quality bedding job done, leave it alone. Send it to a reputable smith, and then leave it alone. If they know what they are doing it will be torque spec'd properly and you should shoot it before you disassemble it. I've had more than one customer come back with a box full of parts because they "took it apart to see what you did."...….. including ruined bedding jobs. Back before I started working on guns I payed a smith to build a semi-custom, including bedding. It was years before I ever broke it apart for detailed cleaning because I didn't want to effect the bedding. JMO. [/QUOTE]
