Sam17H Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 A question for the technical wizards on the forum if I may... I have recently completed a custom rifle stock build and have reinstalled the scope etc and placed the action back into the full bedding job I've done. I was wondering, should I use a thin layer of grease on the bedding / action where it contacts the bedding before reinstalling, or should I just wipe the rifle over with an oily rag instead? What is the best way to ensure consistency? lube or no lube? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 If it's a blued action, which is what it looks like and oily rag would be fine. Nice job on the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam17H Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 If it's a blued action, which is what it looks like and oily rag would be fine. Nice job on the stock. Thanks - it's what I was thinking, although I wiped a thin smear of vasoline across the underside of the action thinking it may help a bit, but was equally worried it might cause a slight inconsistency over time. I'll wipe it clean and try it without any grease. Cheers for the compliments on the stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennisgrm Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Definitely no grease. The point of a bedding job is to give you the closest fit to the stock as possible. In theory grease no matter how thin a layer will always have some build up and is essentially holding the action from the bedding job. Keep it clean and your onto a winner.
