Gunsmithing How do I remove bedding from a mini chassi?

[Dogsniper]

Bought a manners chassi off the hide. It was skim bedded.
Need to remove it to fit my action.
What is the best way without damaging the aluminum chassi.
Thanks

If it's something like Devcon, a heat gun and putty knife should do the trick.

It looks like a glass

I think I can chip it out

You're probably not going to be able to leave the aluminum completely unfucked. I would do the best I could to scrape/sand/chip everything out and plan on a new skim bed job for your action.

Buddy, not on your life if they prepped it like I prep mine, and used a good epoxy like Bisonite, Marinetex, or Devcon.

Solder iron

I don’t know how well they preped it. I have chipped some off already

Good excuse to buy one?

How do I know what material I am dealing with? Could you show pictures of different bedding material?

You don't, unless you're a chemist with time and inclination.

Just start working on it. If it's good quality material, it will be a project.

OR...maybe you got lucky and they didn't really prep the surface, so it will flake off in bigger pieces...



..either way: get goin'. The forum won't solve it.

Dremel and a bunch of sanding drums and mini end mills. Devon is dark gray, most of the glasses are whiteish, but they can be dyed whatever color you want. It really shouldn't matter though, its all gonna suck.

Mill it out, re-bed it with your action..

My assumption being that he does not HAVE a mill, given that he is here asking this question.

He asked the best way. That's the best way.

Ok. I was able to chip most of it out in big chunks. Now where can I get action screws for the bighorn tl3 that are cut the right length so the front screw doesn’t run into the bolt on the T4a chassis? Gen 1

I would email manners, I bet they will mail you some proper bolts no problem

You can run the proper size nut on the bolt and grind off the length . When you run the nut off it will chase the threads . Put some cold blue on the tip your good to go.
