Stock Bedding Kits?

[TacticalPatriot86]

Anyone know of any good bedding kits or smiths that can do a good bedding job without paying an outrageous price, I'm all for get what you pay for but don't want to get ripped off either. if its something I can do myself and just really take my time I'm all for it. anyone have any pictures of jobs they have done themselves or experiences with doing this? Thanks all

I am also thinking about doing some bedding so I am tagging along here. I think Stu Grell may do some but I have never seen his work. I had a couple things done by him and was partially satisfied with his work, but I am probably too critical. I'm sure he is a good gunsmith and I just set my expectations too high.

It's been a long time since I've done any bedding, but I had the best luck with J-B Weld steel filled epoxy. I used vegetable cooking spray (Pam) as a release agent. Brownell"s Acraglas never cured right for me. J-B Weld is available at Home Depot and Lowe's.

Richards Custom Rifles found this and emailed him, he responded very fast and gave me some good pointers if I do try it myself along with a video and materials he highly recommends!!!

Just called back. Sorry. At the firehouse today. Give me a call back when you break free.

I wouldn't buy a kit. Buy a batch of devcon steel, some masking tape, qtips/wd40 (for cleaning up), some clear shoe polish (release agent), and Crayola molding clay (to fill voids). watch the youtube vids and do your research and its pretty simple and straightforward. a dremel and sanding drum to clean up the excess inside of the stock.

The Inletting, Bedding, & Clear-Coating Stocks - 2 DVD Set looks like it could be interesting.
