Overview
This simple clay is intended to help keep bedding work cleaner and more manageable by filling recesses and voids around the triggerguard, magazine cut, and other machined areas before applying bedding material. It can also be used ahead of or behind the recoil lug to help prevent bedding compound from entering spaces that can make action removal difficult. The clay is light tan, non-drying, and has a regular consistency, making it a practical shop material for repeated use during rifle bedding tasks. At 2 lb., it offers a straightforward, low-cost option for hunters and builders who want a reusable filler for careful action work.
