[fixyourgun]

@bobcrawman34haha i caught that to

[bigplayer2382]

@bobcrawman34 LOL

[wvu4life03]

@bobcrawman34 I think it's two separate words.

"Glass bedding a rifle is the ultimate in accuracy"

Still funny.

[foxhunter3211]

Actually a2birdcage he was asking wat the point was. The reason why is when the barrel gets hot from shooting, the wood expands and adds stress to the barrel causing it to be less accurate. Glass bedding prevents this

[tacokiller101]

wow...hey there Larry you scared me!

[arridedry]

24 hours is the same as one minute and 31 seconds too larry potterfield.

and thats the way it is

[rabbiteh]

i dont really get this :o

whats the point of a free floating barrel if the stock and barrel touches? :o

[a2birdcage]

@rabbiteh Some rifles actions aren't physically strong enough to support a free-floated barrel. The 10/22 is an example of this. For these rifles bedding the barrel will help with accuracy. A true free-floating barrel is always better though .....if possible.

[spec01]

@rabbiteh it doesn't touch. Once you remove the bedding tape from the barrel you've got the thickness of that tape as an air space between the barrel and the new glass bed.

[Bleys1973]

Okay, where can I get a swab like that for applying stuff? Can I buy in bulk? I have looked several places.

[ausmade]

@Bleys1973 I think Midway usa sell them lol

[ArabsStank]

So this stuff creates the shape and sticks to the stock but NOT the barrel?

[1LonePuma]

This is interesting. I understand bedding a couple of inches in front to the action and up to the tang in the rear, but I've never seen bedding the entire barrel channel in front of the action, as this so I I thought, would once again hug the entire barrel defeating the purpose bedding?

I'm simply speaking out loud, as Mr. Potterfield never responds to our emails.

[1LonePuma]

I was hoping this video was more then it was, as this necessary or unnecessary improvement is much more involved.

hi im larry potterfield with midway USA follow along while i show you how much i kick ass

[cannonball666]

He's the wizard of gunsmithing. He's Harry Potterfield,

[majorporpoise]

Where can I buy the materials needed for this?

[protokingg]

i have a remington 770 in .300 win mag and it has a synthetic stock and i was just wondering, can you glass bed a synthetic stock? if not then what can i do to make it more accurate?

[nadimaal]

Holiday is comming now get realy for Russain ladies lostlk.info

[alenleroc]

We've seen nothing - this video is stupid as his face!

[Blanckmeister]

Should I do this to my 10/22 in a hogue stock?

[SwoopdySwoop]

looks like chocolate pudding

[ru708]

@trijigon

thanks I appreciate it

[howardmaryon]

Larry, I am a huge fan of your videos, but I must say I preferred the older style with you in your Midway workshop - having you rise up mysteriously from the bottom of the frame, like the Loch Ness Monster really isnt the L.P. we all know and love.....

[nonamelef]

So, this is only useful for wooden stocks, correct?

[trijigon]

@nonamelef No. It's actually more popular in synthetic stocks.

[ru708]

what does glass bedding do?

how dose it help the accuracy?

[trijigon]

@ru708 Glass bedding helps add rigidity to the part of the stock the rifle action is bedded in. This makes the contact even, and stronger where the action attaches so nothing moves after each shot, thus improving accuracy. if the moves or warps, especially in wooden stocked rifles, your accuracy will decrease as well. it pretty much keeps everything consistent.

[brandonhornsby]

Im serious. I hate tv but I do love outdoor channel and Wednesday nights MidwayUSA sponsors a bunch of shows. Between shows and advertisements youll see Mr Potterfield demonstrate some new cool as hell tip on something with firearms or reloading.

This man is a freaken genius! His devout love for firearms definitely shows in his attitude and professionalism too.

[brandonhornsby]

Larry Potterfield and MidwayUSA RULE!

[Booogie001]

[dfxjedi]

Just what I was wondering about.

[ECTBWHO]

This is very helpful to me... Thank you Midway USA.
