    I have an M1A Super Match that I need help bedding into a McMillan stock. The action is basically fitted but still needs some relief work done and holes drilled for the front sling swivel. Seeing as this is an expensive rifle and stock I REALLY don't want to screw it up. Anybody have experience with this that could help/show me how to do it. I have the M14 book that details it and have read about it on line but I prefer to have someone that knows what they are doing show me how.

    Not something that i can just show you how, but when you do bed, be sure to bed the bottom metal at the same time, the tension is neccessary to make it stress free.... if this is the first time you will bed anything i suggest starting w/ something alot easier, these and m1 garands are probably the most difficult and easy to mess up rifles to bed.

    That's what I'm afraid of. Do you do this sort of thing as a customer service? What do you charge?
