Well lookie there! This is my rifle he built! So far, she shoots great! Can't wait for the weather to warm up a little bit so I can shoot outdoors a bit more comfortably. 🙂

[@jasonrad9332]

Awesome!

[@misterlewgee8874]

I'd love to see videos of my custom job....

[@loadmastergod1961]

That's great. I watched their video of the snowy match in Colorado and thought that looks like a lot of fun. Be a nice warm up for me in winter

[@altruisticscoundrel]

Great video! The smaller, significant details most people wouldn't notice are highlighted on these pieces.

[@davefulcomer2336]

Good video, would like to see the results. Funny, no judgement, but I've never heard it called Vine Gar, I was going to blame it on Wyoming pronunciation, but I only live 120 miles from you. Ha ha.

[@davewellings6281]

UK here, I was confused at first until that light bulb moment........Ohhhh Vin-a-ger.....

[@cw2a]

Hahahah. Yup I was like what did I just hear? Yup Vine-gar... that is what it says... 😮😮😂 Still good step by step. I like to use studs not action screws. Its too easy ta get epoxy into bad places.

[@jakearchambault8160]

I have had great results with hoppes number 9 for clean up.

[@loadmastergod1961]

Darn, wouldve loved to see the rest of the process, even though my rifle is built and shooting well even though i didnt bed, just used the mdt acc milled bed

[@misterlewgee8874]

Thank you for sharing. Respectfully... I'd have liked to see the end mill operation. With "no parrarell surfaces bedded". I'm surprised you removed material and put bedding compound , arcaglass down the side of the action. Point bedding....front and back only is the theory I've heard.. No bedding in barrel channel was what I heard...but...can't see why bit of support to barrel is bad ..maybe barrel heats and expands.. Liked your recoil lug approach...with the clearance on front and sides. I wrapped the action screws in tape so there is clearance after tape removed. I'm not a professional at all...just interested. These comments meant to be possibly helpful. I'm looking forward to part 2😅!😊. I liked the idea of tang screw first and melting the bees wax. Looking forward to next video... Appreciate the effort. Thanks

[@aaronunterseher1627]

Part 2?

[@Hadenough16066B]

Try making studs that screw into action first then place the action into stock. Put nuts washer on the other side to put a little tension on. Stops you pushing epoxy into action. Pushes it the other way out.

[@cw2a]

Yup was just writing that. I use studs much cleaner inside action.

[@deanstout1134]

You can use a high wattage soldering gun, heat the screw the heat will transverse up the screw shank and break down the lock tight so you can get it apart without damage.

[@michaelthrelkeld212]

Did you put out the 2nd video? Don’t see the finish anywhere

[@kurthammons1980]

After applying the epoxy and putting the action back in you put the action screws back in. They obviously had a little epoxy on them as you screwed them back in from the bottom and through the epoxy. I’m sure you put release agent on them and inside the holes, do they unscrew easy after letting the epoxy set up over night? Did you have to dig any epoxy out of the holes after taking them out? Thanks! Awesome video.

[@antzracing]

Left hand threads for the action bolts? Or is some of the footage flipped ?

[@cw2a]

Yea he is using the "front camera" so everything "bass-akwards". 😂❤

[@longshooter457]

It has been a year now since this was bedded. It must be still curing or........it stuck and had to be thrown away.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

How are you not filling the action screws with epoxy?

[@davefulcomer2336]

They do often fill up. The release agent allows the epoxy to not stick to the threads. Often you have to drill it out, or actually "unthread" the epoxy.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

@@davefulcomer2336 I use clay around the screw bores. It squeezes both in and out and keeps the epoxy from getting in. Cleaning up clay is much easier than cleaning cured epoxy and taking the chance of locking up.

[@misterlewgee8874]

I used taped blind screws...so action sits in with screws centred with right amount of tape and epoxy gets pushed down away .not up and in..

[@bryanspilner]

what the fuck is vine-gar????

[@123pap]

Enjoy your videos do you not read the comments?

[@wyomingguncompany3327]

We appreciate you all and do read your comments! Our busy schedule with building, refinishing, and tuning firearms means we can't always reply to everyone. Thanks for understanding!

[@XennaC]

😮

[@josephdavis2427]

Um...actually, it's pronounced Erle and Vine Gar, as one would put them on a Kaizer salad. I'm absotively posilutely 110% on that.

[@MrSonic1953]

White vine-gar? Really? It's VINEGAR, as in oil and vinegar. The smarter you are about something, the dumber you get about basics.

[@misterlewgee8874]

I enjoyed the vinegar.... pronounce

[@bajamedic]

Vine-Gar? Lolz

[@joachimsingh2929]

Great vine Egar? Have you ever Heard people say that? Its vinegar. Have you not herd and only read the word?

[@humpben]

Should I bed forward of the recoil lug on a Proof steel barrel being used for PRS? Awesome video BTW

[@700Junky]

So many things done wrong. People actually pay you for this? First, a MDT Chasis doesn’t need epoxy bedding. But, you did the milling with the chassis bedding block in the stock assembly, but then remove it to apply epoxy. Why wouldn’t you remove the aluminum bedding block first? You didn’t use bedding screws which keeps the material out of the action. Gezzz. You intentionally did not relieve the recoil lug surface which is the number 1 reason to bed any stock. You want 100% contact on the rear surface. Between this video and the on where you F^

[@NELLY-jg2rx]

Ultimate Reloading just bed his 2 mile LRP rifle with a MDT chassis...not saying he did everything right...but if UR does it, that's the way to do it

[@gtzmwt]

I thought this was a bedding video!
