I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to smelt chopped carbon fiber into the base. And the surface would become rough and the resin would stick to the fiber perfectly. This, among other things, would serve as a good reinforcement
I never seen you out the action and barrel in so it can imprint
If you'll take a drinking straw and put in screw hole leaving it up so epoxy won't go into hole you can set everything down in stock and you bed all at once. Don't forget car wax to release everything.
I think a soldering iron will handle it better...

This is awesome. Now I can keep mine. Wish it had detachable mag
Any updates to this project? How did it hold up? Did it improve accuracy from before? 🎩♠️🇺🇲🏁🎯🎱🇺🇦🔱🌻💮🌼🌸🍀🔫
Why not just shim points with plastic to free float it? Just curious?
I would float the barrel.
With the heat and surface alteration, you've completely compromised the lateral integrity of the material's molecular structure---making for a very weak stock. Bedding will not improve this.
Hate those plastic stocks have boyds on the two guns that had them on them
Same stock as my. 220 swift now has a glas bedded boyds
Definatly bedding problem
I have done much the same thing with my Savage rifles except I cut the cross webs and insert 1/4" dis. drill rods one on both sides from the recoil lug to the front of the stock.
Didnt like how loose the compound was and nothing in the lug hole! What!!!!
Bubble town USA.....
Vibrations of an orbital sander a top of a steel rod may help draw the bubbles up, idk for sure
$147 for a Boyds hardwood stock, $4 JB to bed. By doing so, I made my Remington 770 shoot like a pro rifle
it woulda been faster to use a dremel an why not cut slots in the webbing to get thru contact. the heat from the compound would bond into plastic.
cutting slots in the centre web would help. so what was the result? did you find flex in around the action area? so compound shrunk so did it draw the sides in to barrel channel?
Like trying to fill ice cube trays evenly. I like how you do everything. I've learned a lot. If I do mine, I will follow many of your methods. I have a model 700 BDL, which is supposed to be a Better Deluxe model. I'm not sure which type of plastic, since they call it a composite. Anyways, I've spent my life in the construction industry and watched many, many very large concrete pours. To eliminate air pockets and bubbles in concrete, a vibrating head on a flexible cable is lowered into the concrete and the vibration causes all of the air bubbles to rise to the top. If I use the method you are demonstrating, I think I will rubber band my two electric toothbrushes to the bottom of the stock. That should vibrate all of the bubbles and air pockets out of the stabilizer. I have also watched videos where the bedding compound was run the entire length of the stock with layers of tape built up to 60 thousands of an inch on the bottom of the barrel. Then the rifle was reassembled, squeezing out the excess compound. After the compound was hardened, the tape was removed and you had a free-floating barrel with zero cavities beneath...... Well, as River said at the end of Serenity, "That's the plan."
How much material was needed to fill it up?
You did a great job Idk why they disliked it. Probably some douches
Going forward don’t do this stupid shit again.
I think I would just buy an aftermarket stock. All this money and effort and still just have a sps junk stock
I get that but sometimes it’s more fun for some of us to have things to tinker with.
I have done this procedure to several synthetic rifle stocks. Stability was greatly improved. I also put a stainless washer between the stock and front action screw for free floating and used JB KWIK in the recoil lug well. I used a very thin coat of grease on the recoil lug installed the action on the stock and let it sit over night.
Did the grease help with the come out really easy?
JB weld. Done
Did you end up recording the bedding process? I've just been through your 3 stabilizing videos and was hoping to see the rest of the project.
It would be nice to know how it turned out! After actually bedding the action.
When is part 4??
So it's been a year now. How did the bedding go, how has it held up, and how does it shoot??!! :-)
How much weight did this add? Do you feel its too heavy to carry in a hunting application?
Yes, that would help a lot to know before doing this. @DarkTrace Did you get a chance to weigh it... before and after?
Yes I would like to know this also
How did you go with the bedding? I'm doing my Tikka synthetic at the moment, done the stabilizing and started grinding out the rear tang area.
My rifle definitely shoots more accurately now that I have completed the stock stabilizing and bedding. I have only had it to the range once, but so far very happy with the results.
Why not bed the barrel lug slot too?
This video was of the match grade stock stabilizer, which increases the strength of the forend. The recoil lug is bedded using a different compound in a different step.
Great video! Can't wait for the next series.
I have a question, I just stabilized my stock and about an hour after i poured the stabilizer into the stock it hardened and when i put finger on it it appears to be very hot. is it normal for it to become hot???? i mean like really hot, i am curing it without applying any external heat so i thought that it might be cause of some sort of chemical reaction but please can anyone let me know if this is normal or not.
Yes it is normal. Most two part epoxies harden through a chemical reaction instigated by mixing the components. The heat is a by-product of the chemical reaction and it will dissipate as the compound cures.
Thank you for the information Sir.
"a little extra shipping" This entire kit is 25 bucks, plus 40 dollars to ship to the US. That's insane.
Yes the international shipping cost should definitely be considered. It should also be noted that the shipping expense remains the same regardless of the number of Match Grade Stock Stabilizers and Bedding Compound kits ordered. I ordered two kits of Match Grade Stock Stabilizer and two Match Grade Bedding Compound kits, four items total, the shipping cost was the same as it would have been if I ordered just one item.
+DarkTrace That at least is good for those ordering in bulk, but for those of us building 1 rifle, the shipping is way above even the cost of the product. :/
+Z33 Garage order another for a mate and split shipping
+TheFlyingKiwi I could do that but the only other person I know who is into guns has a McMillan stock lol
+Z33 Garage ah fair enough. Now you know how us poor Kiwis feel when we order stuff from the USA (if bloody ITAR will let us have it). The shipping costs mega bucks but its still cheaper than buying it here assuming someone here even sells it! So jealous of all the cool things you can buy in the states haha
I'm really looking forward to seeing your bedding video. My stock is just like this, so I'll feel more comfortable doing mine after I watch you do yours.
that looks like it would be due to wind change possibly
Excellent videos. I'm waiting your bedding videos ;-) I'm planning to do the same job with my sps Varmint .308
+clicboumboum Thank you for watching! I'll be working on the bedding soon.
