Gunsmithing How would one bed a switch barrel with different profile barrels in a fiberglass stock.?

Curious as to how one would glass bed a Bighorn action for example, (or another switch barrel) for different contour barrels? Would you have to bed for the heaviest contour, and then the others would rest on the recoil lug, in a conventional stock without a mini chassis?

I'm looking at trying to make a lightweight hunting rifle, with different caliber options. Probably with a Manners Stock. Thanks.

Just because Biden is president elect doesn’t mean lunch just got free. Someone still has to pay.

I think you are going to have to make a compromise.

How far are you bedding? Why not just bed to and including the recoil lug?

Use a dam and tape to keep any bedding out of the barrel channel.

Like others are saying, just bed the action as that is all that really should be bedded and barrel should free float.

The answer is that you wouldn’t. Switch barrel goes in a chassis or a mini-chassis on a composite.

Thanks-Appreciate your feedback. I haven't done any of my own bedding... have a friend that has done it in the past . However I figure I might give it a whirl, or as @Fig has suggested look at a Composite Mini chassis too. Happy Thanksgiving.
