Re: do AI stocks need to be bedded?
300, my post in the first place was in response to 11b-b4 about having 4 AICS rifles and saying none ever needed to be bedded.
<span style="color: #3333FF">And my point is, that in the life of 4 rifles, enough shit changes that how can you really claim you never needed to bed any of them?</span>
There could be an POI shift while your working up loads and you might not know. You could take the rifle apart and have a POI shift thinking its nothing, when really the action could be tourqued/bent differently than it was before.
Shit happens and goes on that one might not notice.
And "You", wasnt you 300. I was saying "you" as in anyone
Back to the topic...
You have a cheaply made action in an aluminum chasis. How could you think lug/receiver contact would be right? shootable yes, but right? not in my opinion
BTW, one year ago I looked at an AICS with a LA remy in it... the lug was making about 60% contact. Only at the top. the bottom was away from the aluminum.
The lug contact is between two, very un-parallel services. The Remy lug and the AICS aluminum chasis.
Dont bed em if you dont want to. I will
