i wonder how many flipped their rifle over and their barreled action fell out? great video though that bedding is prestine and now i know i needed to polish the wax off. Thank you sir
There’s two schools of thought about whether you bed the entire action or just do it at two points. My personal opinion is that two point bedding is more stable and if the stock does develop a twist or a bend there will be less or no torsional stress applied to the action. Perhaps with a high quality, high dollar fiberglass stock it doesn’t matter? I only have walnut stocks so I think, for my application, the two point bedding is what makes sense. I think a cheaper plastic stock would certainly qualify for a two point bedding.
I would think there is a flaw in your thinking.. if a stock starts to twist, it's gonna twist from that point and everything after it.. I would think by bedding the entire action you are making that entire area stronger and less likely to twist.. JMO
![[VIDEO 1 of 4] BEDDING A RIFLE WITH ROBERT GRADOUS](/img/n.gif)
your camera man sounds like Darth Vader breathin, LOL
Dang never seen a bedding video where the smith turns it upside down without the screws in. That's insane precision on a bed job. Nice work.
Love watching real craftsmanship. Thanks.
He was definitely one of the best! People all over the country knew Robert.
RIP Bob, great to see the magic again!
Did I miss the part about setting the barrel into the stock after applying the bedding compound?
Man, my new favorite, generous Gunsmith. Gone too soon. My best to his family. I'm sure he knew the value of his time.
Wow. The knowledge being shared here is amazing.
Thanks for sharing this. Love to see all your videos.
Robert died yesterday. Very sad. Rest peace, Mr. Gradous

Anyone who owns a Gradous rifle or seen how one shots, you’d see the answer.
Dang, i aint never seen pillars like that before
fantastic video is there a part 3 and part 4?
No, he's dead.
Now finaly some good information
What about part 3 and 4?
Mr Gradous died before he could make parts 3 and 4.
