Here are a couple more.  Sorry about having to do it in so many posts.  It kept giving me permission errors, but I got it done.

Let it set up good and you will love it, I have never had Devcon break down or come loose, I can`t say the same for the fiberglass compounds. Let us know hot it feels to shoot when your finished.
Good job & good shooting

Turned out great.  Popped it this morning after 12 hours.  Came out easier than I thought it would.  A huge thanks to you guys.  Duce, Focus, Dolphin, Ronk, and Rifedude, I owe you a cold one any time you want it.  Thanks so much for all the help and advice.  Couldn't have done it without you guys.  Will post some pick later when I get the time to take them.

 Well done, Helo! Excellent
  You might want to start cleaning it up a little now.  If Devcon is anything like Acraglas, it trims up easily when it is about the consistecy of a plastic milk jug. When it gets real hard , it becomes brittle and chips easier.  Use sharp tools and be careful not to scratch the metalwork.
 Never used Devcon though so I'm just speculating.

I use a Dremel tool with a small endmill - like carbide burr for the trimming-up process.  It cuts very clean, doesn't chip the bedding, and gives me very precise control.  As Ronk alluded to, you just trim up the excess epoxy that squeezed into areas that might impair function, such as the edges of the magazine well and the trigger assy inletting.

Came out pretty good.  You can see on the right side of the pic that I didn't get enough Devcon in there, so I am giving it a couple days, then will fill it it, let it cure, and then probably go shoot it next weekend.  Will do a little filing to get the mag well in there where it should be.  Will let you know how it shoots.

Not my best day shooting.  I was a little twitchy today.  Not a bad for the first three shot, then I flinched on the fourth.  Was going to shoot a five shot group, but gave up after the flinch.  Without the 4th shot, it is about 3/4 in group.  Will be going out again later in the week to shoot agian.  Will see if I can do any better.  If not, I will put it on the lead sled to take out the human error.  Thanks again for all the help on this project.

Doesn't seem to havechanged much.  But at the same time, I was kinda rushing the shooting a little.  I have wednesday off of work and no flights, so I am going to go out and take my time.  Let the barrel really cool between shots.  I can say that it didn't make it any worse.  The action feels like it fits more snuggly in the stock now.  Will post more updates after I go shoot again.
