It’s less mess, but too much in one spot and it props it up funny ways. I’d rather lube up the action and tape off the stock. Let epoxy googe out. Micro balloons or steel powder added helps thicken it up if need be. JB weld end up fairly thick and doesn’t do a bad job.
The Devcon stuff is good, but once you open it the shelf life SUCKS.

It's going to be a dedicated bench gun, so weight isn't really a consideration.
Re: 10/22 Stock Recommendations
Stock and trigger kit was supposed to be delivered today. Delayed by FedEx.
That makes me sad.

Re: 10/22 Stock Recommendations
@cpj - good call on the VQ parts. Trigger pull went from 4 lbs to 2 lbs and is much better overall.
Re: 10/22 Stock Recommendations
Good news.
I dig that stock. Didn’t know they made that color.
Have you done the bolt hold open modification yet? The one where you don’t have to push that stupid tab up to release the bolt? Just pull back and let fly?

No, but I saw it installed on one of the videos I watched for the trigger upgrade so it's on the list along with maybe some trigger shims.

And the shims would be nice, the fit it pretty sloppy from the factory.

Re: 10/22 Stock Recommendations
Definitely need to bed it. Lots of hollow areas around the action. Anyone with direct experience bedding the MagPul stock. Lots of videos and what not but I can screw something up with the best of them.

Re: 10/22 Stock Recommendations
Best 10/22 mod out there, by far. At least when you consider cost vs effort vs reward.

It’s like a 5 minute job. Well worth it.
