Well, as we say in the hood, the die is cast.... I bedded my 10/22 today my way. Did the portion under the V-Block, and the first +/- 3 inches of barrel forward of the receiver. Also bedded the very back "shelf" where the receiver 'sits'... just to see how it levels everything out. Tomorrow morning I get to see if the action will pop out (prayers requested); and if my methods actually DID anything of value. My main purpose of bedding is to free float the barrel and stop the stringing at 50 yds. Will report on results and if it appears I done good; then maybe the week following I'll get a chance to shoot it and report on those results.....
EDIT: It's tomorrow and I'm happy to report that, after a more than normal struggle, I got the barrel/action to pop out of my 10/22 Target stock.... took about a half hour of fighting and sweating, but she freed-up. I'm glad that I didn't have to cut that stock because it's the good-looking (sorta beige) laminated stock they put on the heavy SS barreled 10/22. Even though Acra-Glass says to wait an additional 2 1/2 days for curing.... I'm gonna try it out tomorrow... hell, it's just a .22 and it'll be about 44 hours since pouring the glass...If all goes well, there should be no more 'stringing' when the big barrel gets hot.....
Tues. 7/9 RESULTS: 100%.... no more stringing... while the weather was not as hot as last week's shooting session, I did shoot a coupla hundred rounds +/- and did my best to heat up the barrel.... no more stringing so I guess the project/experiment is a success.
