The product in question is an advanced, highly durable bedding and stabilizing epoxy compound, specifically designed for wood and fiberglass gun stocks. It offers exceptional impact resistance by encasing the action in a layer of solid, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring a precise epoxy-matrix fit crucial for optimal accuracy. Through a unique formulation process, this compound contains a higher proportion of stainless steel by weight than epoxy, boasting 2.5 times more steel than competing products. Steel Bed exhibits minimal shrinkage, less than 0.1% and maintains its integrity without compressing, crumbling or degrading under the stress of heavy magnum or semi-automatic recoil. It is favored by fiberglass stock makers for supporting the recoil lugs of lightweight mountain rifles and is trusted by military armorers and civilian shooters in demanding conditions without failure. Rigorous testing has confirmed its superior performance, with test samples distributed to armorers, gunsmiths and competitive shooters for real-world evaluation. The results consistently demonstrated no cracking, crazing or degradation, with improved group sizes across various firearms, including semi-automatic, 1000 yd, bolt-action match rifles, benchrest guns and hunting rifles. Due to its high stainless steel content, achieving a color match with wood tones can be challenging. However, recent advancements in dye technology allow for a usable brown color for wood stocks and an effective black for synthetic stocks. Alternatively, the compound can be painted along with the synthetic stock. For the best color match on wood stocks, Steel Bed can be used for recoil lugs and pillar bedding, while Acraglas or Acraglas Gel, which are more easily dyed, can be applied where the bedding is visible. In summary, Steel Bed is the ultimate steel-bearing bedding compound, combining exceptional strength and ease of use. The mixing ratio is a straightforward 1 - 1 by volume of Resin to Hardener and its creamy, non-runny texture ensures it remains in place during application.
