Airguns Soft Bedding your air Rifles ( full instructions in description)
SOFT BEDDING A AIR RIFLE
project time 45 min to 1hr
Things you need
Ruler and scissor
Screwdriver or Alan wrench
Punches and hammer for SAS shock screws (Hatsan)
Clamp or vise for compression of action
Neoprene. some have used inter tube rubber.
vise for holding work (optional)
I believe it makes the rifle smoother, quieter. More accurate and also dampers recoil on optics. Another plus is stock screws seem to remain tight.
If your a tinker you should try this on a rifle. you will be a believer. Shoot your rifle right before and then after completing. You will see a notable difference.
So get yourself some 1/8th-inch thick Neoprene. The Adhesive backed kind. I was using the sheet but the rolls seem easier. Some will use tire inter tube but the neoprene is a easier process. Take my word I've done both.
What I do is float the metal off the wood, so the wood is not contacting.
I use scissors a box cutter and straight edge ruler and sometimes a protector for curves to cut the material.
Peel paper off sticky back. Place strips in bedding so there's a small area up from drop-off edge. It will smash and fill the gap.
I line the wood everywhere metal contacts the wood. Your bed for you action is finished.
It's time to install the action into the stock.
I use a "C" clamp and two lengths pine to get front stock screws down enough to start since they are now sitting on 1/8" of neoprene material make sure the screws are aligned so you don't strip the them. Start front stock screw holes first. Then do trigger guard screws.
Note: I get washers that fix the stock screws and recessed holes in the stock they give the screw more contact area and don't damage wood.
After you install the stock.
1. Tighten all screws tight
2. Let sit 12 hours or so
3. Second day Tighten Again that afternoont tighten the screws again — shoot 20 or 30 times
5. Day three — Tighten again — DONE!
6. Periodically test screw tightness but they seem to stay tight do to the extra tension on them.
Now you have a soft bedded air rifle that will have a softer shot cycle. be quieter more that likely increase the accuracy. And the stock screws stay tight. I also believe it will help cushion optics from recoil. A little money and time to make your favorite Springer's/Rams better.
HAVE FUN TINKERING AND SHOOT ON
