Manners bedding question

[Deltagunner00]

Found a T2 in stock at Stocysstocks. Is it easy enough to bed it myself? I could get the stock much quicker by going this route. If I order with mini chassis it will take up to 12 weeks plus I can save some money.

Is it easy enough that I can do this myself? I am fairly handy and good with tools, working on cars, building AR's, blah blah.

Just curious what you guys who have done it think?

If you've never done it before, I would suggest you get a junk stock to practice on first. Also, read all you can on how to do it and watch all the YouTube videos that you can find on it. The key to bedding an action is the prep work.

It's not hard at all. But like trevor300wsm said, I'd practice on a cheapo first. Don't forget to use Johnson's paste wax or something first on every surface that might come in contact with epoxy.

Do the prep work. Use the painters tape. USE the release agent - Kiwi Neutral works for me, but I hear Johnson's paste wax is the titties. Use play dough/clay in all your screw holes and anywhere you don't want the epoxy to run. Use 10mil thick plumbers tape wrapped around your barrel to center and float it.
For the love of God, let it cure before you try to take it apart.

Thanks fellas! I have been doing some googling for various readings and looking at a few videos...

Do you guys have any links to any that I should read or videos I should watch? I don't want to miss any good ones.

Got my T4A from Stockys and bedded it for my first bedding job. It worked, but isnt pretty. Rifle shoots fantastic.

I read about everything I could find on this site and everything else google found. I saved this link.
