Glass Bedded The Black Diamond Action
The TC Black Diamond is a super good gun. However, many of them have a problem: When you take the stock off and re-install it the gun might shoot to a different POI.
The problem is in the way that TC went about floating the barrel: The rear bearing surface on the stock is lower than the front bearing surface. When the rear action screw is snugged down the barrel raises up.
Yesterday i bedded the action into the stock using Acra Glas Jel. First i sanded the bearing surfaces well so the gel would stick. Was careful to build up the rear bearing surface in the stock with the gel. The action screws were snugged down tight and put the gun aside.
Took it apart this morning and cleaned it up. Looks good.
