Gunsmithing bedding block for a badger action

[Adam B]

I am looking for someone to build a bedding block for a Badger M2008 action that can be fitted into a manners or mcmillan stock similar to this

my usual CNC guy is laid off and now back in college

Wait.......somebody is laid off in Michigan???? haha, just messing.

I hope the blocks in the link are made to better tolerances than the HS ones.

Do you think that will really be better than a properly bedded stock?

Re: bedding block for a badger action

yes, it will be better off becasue when you take a badger aciton out of a bedded stock the post in the rear of the action breaks the bedding unless you are real careful. Both Robert Snyder (RWS gunsmithing) and I found this out the hard way. They are not like a remington action that just sits in there, there are 2 posts where the action screws go through and 2 recoil lugs

Ok, is that the purpose of the posts to stick down, to work as a recoil lug? Or just the way things are?

I wonder if milling those off would be harmful or weaken the action (OR JUST PLAIN STUPID).

Adam,
Best thing is to just box it up,send it to me and consider it a learning experiment. You still have my address, if not I will resend it. Otherwise, good luck on a competent machinist.

Adam, you might give Terry Cross a call or an email. I am pretty sure he is developing a similar bedding block for his Sentinel stock to work with the Badger, he posted a CAD picture on a post just a while back...

Modify pillars to just fit over the protrusion and bed conventionally.
