its metal on metal, you just unscrew the action bolts and it will come apart in two minutes.... easy... drop in, tighten to 62-65 ftlbs and you're back in action.

Well if the bedding was done correctly it won't hurt it at all. You might as well take the barreled action out sooner or later you're going to have to anyway to clean it or repair something so you might as well get it over with.
