kirk: Forend bedding

Post by Jay Glenn »

Kirk: I didn't have my Shiloh 45/40 forend bedded and now wish I had. With hunting season in full swing don't want to lay my rifle up. Can I accomplish moisture proofing by taking off my forend and giving it several coats of true oil and accomplish basicly the same thing.

You should be all right doing that.

Kirk, Jay's question made me curious. When you guys do a bedding process on a rifle, what does that involve? At some point in the future I may be interested in a gun like the business rifle just to hunt with and seems like this may be a good option for a gun which will definetly be getting wet at times.

Good morning, What we do is put release agent on the barrel, then we coat the inside of the forearm with what they call micro-bed. This will be dry in a day and you remove the forearm and finish sand it. Thanks Kirk
