Steel Bedding Block
This Modification is now
offered only on our Advanced Rifle and Advanced Rifle Package.
A fabricated steel receiver liner is epoxied into a McMillan
Fiberglass Stock. The concept behind the steel liner is to eliminate
the accuracy degradation from glass bedding breakdown in critical areas of
receiver to stock contact produced by repeated disassembly and assembly
among other things. This is achieved by providing steel on steel
contact in those critical areas. The steel liner is not the same as
conventional glass bedding. The steel liner is not compatible with
rear lugged receivers. I actually consider the steel liner superior
to a double lugged receiver.
Receiver recoil lugs are prepped for the steel bedding
block by cutting in a fixture to produce recoil legs that are parallel
to each other and at specified 3° angle.
