A bit more time on this one today and finished the action inlet
When I am getting down close I will put a piece of tape on the action flat so when I start to dust it with the soot I know I am close. Then it is just a matter of taking the tape out and doingn the final scrape and it is done. I know it will be fully bedded on the wood. I do expect that when it arrives at the owners home he may want to bed his action into the stock so will hog it out but I know it is tight when it leave here.
