Gunsmithing issues in bedding a choate stock?

[newbieshuter]

Has anyone had any issues with glass bedding popping out of choate tactical stocks? I drilled some extra holes in the v block and the plasticy area on my stock, glass bedded it, seemed perfect until a buddy told me that im gonna hate it and itll pop easy from the stock.

And your buddy based his comment on what, prior experience? Or is he just being a smart ass?

Ignore him, shoot and enjoy your rifle. If by chance the bedding does pop (unlikely), drill/dremel 1/8" holes at a slight opposing angle to the upwards pull of the action and redo the bedding. Use a toothpick to make sure these holes are full of compound, bed as usual.

Should be good. I bedded my choate stock and it is holding up great.
