bedding and floating your rifle.

[aaron_j]

Im looking for advice on how to bed a rifle and float the barrel. I understand what floating means but what are tried and true methods. Bedding, well Im in the dark with the crickets completely. What does it do, where do I begin and what do I need?

Go to this thread and read, the pictures are all jacked up now but the info is still there. This is for the bedding.

About the only tip I can give, is to use a crap ton of bedding material. Dont skimp on the devcon or else youll get air bubbles.

^^^ So true. Also, make sure you apply the release agent liberally on all the components. Your first one might not come out well but should work nicely. Prep work is the most important so triple check everything before mixing the material. Good luck!
