Gunsmithing Re-Bedding Question

[69icarus]

Ok - I have a McMillan HTG that already had pillars installed at McMillan. I had it bedded to my Rem 700 action but it had the factory recoil lug when I bedded it. Now I'm putting another Remington 700 Barreled action into it with an oversized recoil lug. The question is.... Is the recoil lug area the only thing I have to bed since the action is already bedded? Thanks

Re: Re-Bedding Question

the best thing to do there is mill out the area in front of the recoil lug then re-bed just the recoil lug its self.

Id rebed the whole thing.

Re: Re-Bedding Question

Open up the recoil lug recess to accept the larger lug. Grind out the old bedding compound and bed entire action and lug as new.

take out old material and redo the whole thing

If the new action being put in is not the one it was bedded to.... there ya go.

Rem700 actions are all different.



If it IS the same action, you <span style="font-style: italic">may</span> get away with just redoing the lug area.
