Thread: Rifle bedding - is this normal?

For a comparison this is my DIY bedding job using JB Weld (not a professional gunsmith, but also time spent on it was not a concern). I did three rifles (two for me, one for a friend) in the space of about 6months, this is the second but spent a long time researching the process. I have a few nicks on the inside of the magwell. I also had the rear action screw hole blow out on the bottom when I drilled it out for the pillar, which I strengthened with bedding compound. Not perfect but it’s a overall a job I’m happy with.

For $390 I would expect a much neater job than you received.
