Does anybody have any suggestions for removing a Remington action from a Kevlar synthetic stock after it's been glued in? I don't know what was used unfortunately as "glue". Any help is much appreciated! | ||

Find a freezer that will hold it and put it in overnight if possible. Put the stock in a vice and using a dead blow hammer if you have one, or a rubber coated one, give the barrel a sharp rap, just ahead of the forearm. That usually works. | |||

Allen, great minds not only think alike, they seem to do it at the same time. chic | |||

I brought a 22 hornet cheap one time because someone glassed it into the stock. I found a can of mold release agent and dripped some around the action let set pulled dripped some more pulled lightly dripped a little more about 4hrs later it popped right out wipe it clean. Didn't soften the glass enough to ruin it. But enough to get the action out. | |||

Keep in mind that many benchrest guns are glued in on purpose and that could be the case with yours...If so, I wouldn't mess with it... Otherwise, by all means freeze it first..if that doesn't work, send it to a gunsmith, as it may take heat to remove it and that can be a little tricky... | |||

quote:Ray- Understood, and this one actually *needed* gluing in, as there is no provision in the stock for a front action screw. And yeah, you're right, it's in a flat bottomed BR stock. However, it needs rebarrelled, and I'd much prefer the action to be out of the stock while working on it. Looks like I'll be looking for a big freezer... | |||

I don't know of any benchrest smiths that rebed the action when they rebarrel. Of course, if you are suspect of the bedding job, then perhaps it is worth the effort, but... Michael | |||
