As the subject states, is there any reason to not permanently bed the DMB in the stock? The project in question is a Manners MCS-T and Hooper Ord. DBM. Currently the reciever is bedded and done and I need to clean up the inletting on the bottom for the dbm, but I figured I may very well just glue it in there permanently with Devcon. Heck, my Manners mini chassis is similar in the way that the DBM cannot be removed. I thought it might make for a nice clean install. thoughts?

Socal, I have my Seekins dbm bedded into a McMillan Htg stock, figured what the hell as the stock has seen a lot of punishment and won't appeal to many, so its probably unsellable anyways.

I bed all DBM's in my builds. Wax the DBM as per usuall and bed it. Once cured, knock it out with a small wodden dowell for clean up. It goes back in snug but is GTG and will never move under recoil. It's the best way to fly IMHO

Don't do it! If you screw up you will destroy your stock.

Re: Reason to not permanently bed the bottom metal?
The way I bed a DBM in is not permanent, I also would advise against permanent bedding or gluing in the DBM.

Re: Reason to not permanently bed the bottom metal?
Hmmm, who to listen to...the respected smith's advice or a dire, unsubstantiated statement? I could see mechanically locking the DBM into the stock, but you'd still have a functional stock.

Feel free to call prior to performing the work and I'll talk you through it, step by step, from start to finish.
It's pretty easy to do.

Post pics when you get it done. Most folks who do bed them, do so where you can remove them.

Re: Reason to not permanently bed the bottom metal?
Socal, I did use a release agent on the dbm as Mr Roscoe mentions above and I should be able to knock it out if I wish, (although I haven't). IMHO as one of the most respected smiths out there, I am glad I had the forethought to do as he does it.

Re: Reason to not permanently bed the bottom metal?
Bedding compound is in. Ill knock it out tomorrow and see how I did.
wnroscoe - Thanks again for the tips over the phone today. Everything went pretty smoothly.
Hooper - Damn your DBM is nice stuff! Thanks again!
