regarding glass bedding:
(a 10/22 specifically, but whatever)
I see 2 very distinct ways to approach it resulting in 2 very distinct goals.
One way is to bed the center of gravity, and support areas of the trigger guard, etc so as to leave no part of the barrel touching anything, i.e.
'free floating' the barrel to eliminate stress on it by glass bedding the receiver and support areas to the stock for increased stability.
or...
Glass bedding the whole length of metal to stock, making a solid (hopefully) and single unit that fires and recoils as a unit and also increases shot-to-shot consistency.
So which is it?
what have you done?
or have you at all? (a 3rd opinion is that its a big ol' hassle and to forget it!)
thanks,
