It is a mini chassis. I just added a picture to the first post. The seller said it hadn't been bed, but the black stuff seems like bedding compound.A dremel, end mill, round file
It’s a mini chassis? That shouldn’t happen in a mini chassis.
Also, what?going to be far easier to narrow the recoil lug slightly

is this a fucking jokegoing to be far easier to narrow the recoil lug slightly

Well that sucks. So even if I try to remove the bulk of the bedding compound from the recoil lug area and leave the rest, the mini chassis is essentially toast and I have to bed it from now on?Yeah that’s marine tex. It’s been roughed up and then skim bedded.
That sucks man. I’d be pissed if that wasn’t advertised.
Mini chassis is basically toast now so only way to get it to work with your TL3 is to hog out the material and then rebed it.
I sent you a pm.Well that sucks. So even if I try to remove the bulk of the bedding compound from the recoil lug area and leave the rest, the mini chassis is essentially toast and I have to bed it from now on?
Wut?going to be far easier to narrow the recoil lug slightly

Never, I repeat never touch the hard/expensive to fix part of the equation. fix the broken/out of spec stock, not the in spec Action.going to be far easier to narrow the recoil lug slightly

How much harder is it to mill out the chassis than break out a file and take a bit off the lug IF that's the exact setup OP wants?Never, I repeat never touch the hard/expensive to fix part of the equation. fix the broken/out of spec stock, not the in spec Action.
It’s a TL3..integral lug. And even if it wasn’t an integral lug, I’m going to echo what was said above…why in the world with you hack on the in-spec action rather than open the out of spec stock?How much harder is it to mill out the chassis than break out a file and take a bit off the lug IF that's the exact setup OP wants?
How much is he going to have to take off? a mm or two?
If the lug is replaceable you can always change out the recoil lug. If not, well it's a bit more extreme

Again, what? Is this also a joke?Set the action in there , wack it a few times with a mallet and use the lug as a broach..

The real issue is the stock he purchased.
I'm chatting with the seller about it. We're coming to an agreement. I just came here to get some opinions becuase this is my first Manners stock and also the first time I've come across this issue so I wasn't quite sure what the best course of action would be.This right here is why I rarely buy anything second hand. If I bought a mini chassis that was stated to not have been bedded and they did indeed remove material and bed it, I'd be getting my money back. There is no reason to have fucked with that, even less reason to be deceptive about it.
@DR0331 Care to clear this up? Looks like it's your chassis he bought.
Idiots telling people to smash a barreled action in with a hammer and removing material from the action to fit aren't a non issue either.

Lighten up . The correct methods were already suggested , which is to remove the marintex.
well there ya go. My suggestion probably isn't the best course of action, but it WILL make the action fit that chassis IF that's the exact setup the OP wants.The TL3 has an integrated recoil lug.
Only reasonable thing you have posted all daybut I'm no gunsmith.

How much contact does a recoil lug really need? Is a few mm side to side really going to affect anything? Somehow I doubt it, but I'm no gunsmith.
M
filing something to fit is eminently reasonable IF that's your option to make what you have fit what you want.Only reasonable thing you have posted all day
so tell me how it wouldn't work. G'head.You clearly shouldn’t be giving people advice.
just because you can...doesn't mean you shouldso tell me how it wouldn't work. G'head.

Y'all are getting your panties in a twist over this?just because you can...doesn't mean you should
like you existing on this forum...most people here would take the 2nd option
Just when you put the action in a different stock/chassis, the fit might cause issues, like maybe the trigger or barrel hits something if the action can slide over too far.Y'all are getting your panties in a twist over this?
No one's explained how filing off a few mm of recoil lug is going to affect anything yet. So, how's it going to affect anything?
M
The OP said it wasn't going to fit, not why it wasn't going to fit when I answered. Filing will make it fit. Note that I said IF that's the option. Y'all keep forgetting that and not answering my question of 'will it matter?'Could you physically make it fit doing that? Yes, but it would be incredibly stupid.
First of all because you're just going to town on a precision machined action with a dremel or files or whatever you would pull out of your harry homeowner tool bin to whittle away with.
Secondly because it's easier to remove epoxy bedding from a stock and then rebed that to fit than it is to make the action fit the bedded stock even if you have a 3D scanner, CNC equipment, and know how to write CAD.
Your suggestion is just beyond retarded. I really hope that you don't guide children or any other dependent through life with ideology like this and the inability to understand why it's wrong.
OP didn't say he was going to do that. He asked how to make it fit.Just when you put rhe action in a different stock/chassis, the fit might cause issues, like maybe the trigger or barrel hits something if the action can slide over too far.
I’m sure someone like @Terry Cross would know.

I doubt seriously that it'll matter, but hey, y'all keep getting your panties in twists over it. I'll just keep laughing at you because it's likely y'all don't know, but are commenting anyways

Filing will make it fit. What happens next? Up to the OP.
There's always ways to add metal. ...but y'all would probably not like that answer either.
It isn't like we're talking some unobtanium piece of metal here

In your defense, I first might’ve tried a rubber mallet light smack. I read your advice as with a steel engineers mini-hand sledge lol.Im sorry.
I'll go back to making airplane engine parts.

Actually, I would’ve immediately called the seller for a refund.
You don’t perchance work for Alaska Airlines, do you?
Just giving you shit brother.
It would be funny to walk into ye olde gunsmith’s shoppe (one you’ve never used) and the first thing you see behind the counter, in the work area, is a giant wooden mallet.I was thinking more of that Galagher comedian with his wooden mallet, but either will work.
