Gunsmithing Bedding my DBM

[Bangnclang]

I recently bedded my barreled action per Roscoe's bedding post, turned out great. Now on to bedding my CDI bottom metal.

Question: Do I just bed around the action screws/bottom or the sides also?

Thanks in adavance!

I did the bottom only on mine (CDI).
My stock was milled out for a nice fit on the sides.


Perhaps overkill but if you have the material just do it.

Does your inlet around the DBM at stock line look good? Then just bed the pads.

would depend on what the sides look like. If there is a gap there, then yes, you will want to bed it. If there isn't, I definately wouldn't clear material out specifically to bed it. Also, if you have pillars already, I wouldn't remove material around them just to bed the bottom metal either...

You can see a small amount of squeeze out but I did not purposely do the sides. The entire bottom and what little squeeze out made a movement free fit.
