Hello I've been having a issue with my action screws staying torqued . The front screw of a 4.4' 2 screw model 10 accu-stock keeps coming loose . The stock is the newer model with the bolt release just in front of the trigger guard . The only torque that does not come loose is 65 in-lbs , that is 25 more then Savage recommends .
My question is what bedding material is best to bond with aluminum ? The material can not be runny or sag . The area the material needs to fill is pretty deep and wide as well . I can't have the bedding compound drip into the mag well area or where the trigger sits into .
here is a few picks of what needs to be filled and where . As you can see the spine of the accu-stock and the sides of the bedding system are quite a bit apart . The top of the spine is flat and my receiver is round . Because of this the receiver makes very little contact with the spine and wedges it self in at the top sides of the bedding system . The sides do make contact the intier length of the receiver but there is some flex in this area . . The area may go the length but it's a very thin contact area . I would say a little thinner then a tooth pick . The rest is hollow and those are the areas I want to fill in .
As you can see the bedding compound will only be sticking to aluminum and it must have enough body to stay in place while it sets up. Here are two products I have come up with . Both are epoxy putty's rather then resins .

I almost bought the plastic steel but then came across the epoxy that is designed for aluminum and now I'm not sure what to use .
Any other product ideas are welcome if the results are great when the only material the product can stick to is aluminum and it is thick enough not to sag or drip while setting up do to the fact there will be so much material used in a area .
Thanks Metal
