No4 Mk 2 bedding

[Ridolpho]

ricohman: I soak mine in a length of PVC pipe with an end cap cemented on. I often leave them soak for several hours and on a sunny day the black pipe heats up the oil if you stand it outside. If the bedding doesn't return to normal you could always lightly glue in a walnut veneer shim near the forend tip to get proper pressure there as an alternative to removing wood elsewhere.
