Thanks guys, I figured there were some variables with what all would be bedded.

I'm not sure how many you can do with a pound. I do know that mine always go dry at 11:00pm on a Saturday night. Where's the Devcon Pimp when I need him?

</div></div>
I found that about 50 grams of the Devcon and 5.5 grams hardener will bed a receiver/lug. This is after making room in the receiver lug area of the stock for a solid bed.
About 454 grams = 1 pound

Re: 1lb jar of Devcon?
I have only done three bedding jobs, and found that I could do it with 25 grams of Devcon, plus the hardener. If I dremeled out the stock more, I would need twice the amount.
After only three bedding jobs, I am still a beginner, though.

With flat bottom receivers like Mausers, Win M70s, Mosin Nagants, and Howas I use a lot less bedding than round bottom receivers like Rem700s and Sav 110s.

I learned this long ago....don't skimp on compound.....or when you dig it out to do it right the second time you will mix too much.
