Thank you for sharing this video. I currently have an MK II F, but I'm planning on upgrading to the heavy barrel FV and have been looking into the bedding process. This was very informative!
I have a mark ii btvs I think I’m gonna try this with. It’s pretty good right now but I feel like it’s close to very very accurate and this might be what tightens it up that last lil bit
For many yrs lots of ppl have used jb weld to bed rifles.. The biggest complaint I've heard over the yrs is that the jb weld is too runny. But if you'll get yourself some fumed silica, you can thicken it up to a nice paste.
I believe you stated you hadn’t shot it before doing the bedding? How did it go after shooting it. I am looking to do a .22 wmr with a Boyd stock that looks very similar? Great job
So sorry, I did not receive any notifications of comments on this. I could not find any 12-32 (7/32-32) screws. Luckily I'm a machinist and found some 7/32' bar stock and an old die head with 7/32-32 chasers and made those. You may be able to use 7/32" wooden dowel. Just a word of caution, the standoffs (pillars) are used to hold the trigger group and the mag well in place. Do any trigger work first and if you ever have to remove them, mark them first for proper re-alignment. Also, I did a thumb hole stock for my son using .020" shim stock instead of banding. So much better now. His factory stock was so poorly fitted there was a .090" gap between the stock and the pillar. It cracked badly torquing the screws to 20 inch pounds.

Does anyone supply a stock, wood or synthetic that is machined for a better fit versus going through this procedure?
Asking for a friend....
