Re: Question about mating a Rem 700 to a B & C stock Likely loose prior to bedding. I would suggest that you're wasting your time with it the way it is now, so go ahead and bed it. Just be sure nothing is interfering or pressing on it before you bed.

Re: dust collector for blasting cabinet My "Dust Deputy" just arrived today. I'll be working on a new stand for my cabinet and will try and work this into the build. I've also been using a "drywall dust" bag in my shop vac and it definitely keeps the filter clean and will keep the motor...

Re: Restoration Opinions?? Taking a worn out car and restoring it will increase its value - though it is easy to get "upside down" on the cost vs the new value. I suspect the same is true of guns. In addition, untouched original cars in very good to excellent condition are almost always...

Re: Bedding H.S. stock As you can find in the famous bedding thread, the goal is to get the ejection port of the receiver even with its matching notch in the stock. I usually wrap several layers on the barrel and then add 1-2 wraps at a time until the port is perfectly level in its opening...

Re: how to clean Stainless Steel If you know anyone with an ultrasonic cleaner, I cleaned a stainless action in one of these units and it came out looking great. Note that Flitz or other polishes will change the appearance and shine it up. I know because I did it!

Re: Pillar bedding a aluminum blocked (bedded) sto The shims from Ernie linked in the above two posts do work well. I've used them in a couple of rifles when skim bedding them with great success.

Re: Bedding Job - Release Agent removal? Wax & Grease remover, available from any auto store that sells real automotive paints. Mine happens to be PPG brand. I use it prior to and after the Kiwi to clean the action and then to remove the Kiwi. My gallon has lasted me about 16 years, so for...

Re: Free Floating an old Rem 700 I don't do them upside down. Mine usually sit on a cheap rifle cleaning rest I own and it works out just fine.

Re: Remmy 700 triggers problems I had the same thing. It turns out I somehow broke the connector inside there even though I followed the correct directions. I sent it to a well known Hide 'smith who replaced the connector and tuned the trigger for half the price of a Timney. The beauty is, I...
