Natural colored Kiwi shoe polish works as well

Neither can i but i did see a few references to McLube 1725L being as good as Acra-Release.

Ok just try it on something else first. Don't forget when bedding you want to make sure there are no areas that can create a lock point meaning it can get under something that won't allow it to come out if there is just use a little modeling clay to seal off those spots

MZ stuffer you are absolutely correct. The brownells blue release works well but it is a PIA. I have preferred Acra gel mixed with powdered steel for bedding recoil lugs, easier to work with IMO. The price of the release spray has went through the roof I remember buying it for 12.95 and choked when they wanted $23 a can for it, now its 30. F%$k!

I would definitely bed the wood stock did that come with the gun like that ?

Those nutmeg stock are rare and my guess is that they were hand inletted from White. I have two more examples, one a salt and pepper, the other is another nutmeg. The s&p stock looks like a complete NC made inletting. The nutmeg has been inletted from the factory by hand. Sorry if you think they look like a "hack job" but both rifles had a very good barrel/action to stock fit. If I were going to use heavier hunting loads, l would definitely bed the action/barrel lugs.

Just because the factory did the work doesn't mean it was quality work I've seen multiple guns with crap work. I will say if you bed those stocks that would Purdy them up in a hurry no disrespect meant !

Not spray, paste. Rub it on make sure you have everything covered and let it dry. Stick it in the stock. Pray, always pray. I have been doing/using Acraglas for years, I still have a fear of missing something and sticking a stock and barrel together. So far so good.

Lol praying doesn't always work I did one once that stuck pretty bad but I eventually worked it out of the stock lesson learned ! Wasn't sure on the shoe polish never used that before but I would think the spray would get in the books and crannies a bit easier but use what you have is a good thing !
