    Factory Rifle Bedding jobs

    G'Day Fella's,

    I recently had job to replace a Factory trigger with a new Timney replacement.
    This was on a Win Mod 70 Classic Stainless Synthetic (.270Win).
    When I removed the barreled action from the stock, it was obvious, things were not to good!
    This last image, is of my own identical rifle (but in 7mm Rem Mag) and with the Factory "Hot Glue Gun" type bedding method.
    The Pillar Bedding job, was my after market effort!

    Now, here is how the customers rifle came apart!

    As you can see, the Bedding Compound material, came out with the barreled action!
    Also, please note the amount of rust (the red, golden & brown coloured marks) between the bedding material and action and else where!!!

    Stainless Steel Yes, Rust Proof No!!!

    Doh!
