    Rapid action bedding -accuracy improvement?

    I'm trying to get the best out of my Rapid Mk2 FAC, and have noticed that the action 'waggles' a little in the stock. By that, I mean than because the action is held into the stock with only one bolt by the trigger, it can rotate around the bolt in the stock inletting.
    Would glass or Devcon bedding the action to keep it tight with make an improvement to the accuracy? I'm pretty sure that there used to be a 'How to bed your Rapid' webpage somewhere online, can anyone remember it?

    A bike tire inner tube at the bottom then do the bolt tight.

    Did it help with your accuracy?

    Rapid

    Hi I used green felt stuck to the sides and near the back theres a screw hole they use for a Mk1 block trigger guard screw a bolt in then cut off so it sticks out about 3/4mm this grips into the stock and pevents movement.

    First link now working, thanks for the info.
    But Wow!, the second link shows a great image of very thorough bedding. Does it help the accuracy?

    Loose action aside, quick fill AND a pressure gauge now that i would be interested in. Have you any pictures of these in the stock and out. Didn't know you could have both.
