Does anyone have knowledge of a bedding compound that will bond and add structural integrity to a Remington plastic 700 stock? I've tried a test patch with JBweld on a roughed up spot but was easily flicked off. I am a long time user of Acraglass,but don't have any as of now and seems to be a rare item. Thanks, lreed
I just rebedded one of my Model 7's with PC-7 epoxy. Rough the bedding surface with 80 grit, clean and degrease, then bed. Of course you'll need a good coat of paste wax to insure it releases.
PC-7 is a very thick paste and it will not, run or sag.
No epoxy will bond to a thermoplastic but you can do it like stubshaft above and create a mechanical lock to get it to hold. If you can swing it you're miles ahead starting with a real stock that can be properly bedded.
One of the Devcon products may bond but if not that’s fine. I would include drill holes as well to create a mechanical hold between epoxy and stock. Consider adding pillars as well if the stock doesn’t have them already.
Drilling is the only way I have ever tried that worked. It makes a mechanical lock that will stay put.Quote:

I just drilled several holes into the areas of bedding on a little bit of an angle.
The bedding has stayed out and makes the stock fit the receiver much better.
I left the original stock in the original form to retain the collectors price if I ever sell the rifle.
But that cheap plastic stock , especially bedded was great to take hunting since it is lighter and more modern shaped.
Everybody beat me to it. Create the mechanical lock & you're done.
i'll add using a dremel tool with burrs to gouge into everything that will have bedding material around it
Thanks y'all for the info,appreciate very much!! lreed
