Overview
Machined fiberglass bedding sleeves designed to create a solid interface between the bottom metal and action in a hunting or target rifle. Their G10 construction is intended to stay stable through hot and cold conditions, helping reduce movement from temperature-related dimensional changes. These sleeves are easy to machine for custom stock work and fitting to Remington or round-bottom actions, and they are intended to be used with Brownells ACRAGLAS family bedding epoxies. Exterior grooves provide additional gripping area for epoxy, and the short version is supplied cut to fit with instructions included.

- Best results are tied to use with Brownells ACRAGLASA(R) family bedding epoxies, which may narrow compatibility with other bedding systems.
- Designed for Remington or round-bottom actions, so it may not suit other action types without additional fitting.
- Sold individually, so a complete installation may require purchasing more than one sleeve depending on the project.
