Product Details
Q: How Long are your pillars?
A: Our standard pillars are 1.5" length, and our SlimLine pillars are 1.25 in length. All of our pillar require installations and final fitting to the actual stock they will be installed in. They will need to be shortened. We do this to account for variations in tolerances, and to allow for the different rifle variations.
Q: Do you offer instructions with your pillar kits?
A: We do not. We have brief instruction in our description on the web page. We suggest the excellent sources on youtube, forums/social media platforms for write up and guides on installation. We are here to offer advice and support however and the best advice we can give you, it prep work is key, and to take your time! Our Volquartsen Products, and our Green Mountain Barrels both have online instructions available from the Manufacturer website. We do recommend this article for a great write up on pillar bedding : www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html
Q: What Outer Diameter are your pillars?
A: Our Standard pillars are 1/2" in diameter. Our SlimLines are 7/16 in diameter. We do not suggest going much thinner as the wall becomes quite weak.
Q: What Inner Diameter are your pillars?
A: Our Standard Pillars and SlimLine Pillars will fit up to a 1/4" action screw with our large bore pillars fitting up to 5/16 action screw.
Q: It doesnt look like theres enough wood in my Mossberg Patriot, or CZ 457/455 AT-ONE or Boyds Stock (or other) what do I do?
A: When you pillar bed as long as the majority (about 55% or more) of the pillar is enclosed, the pillar will be secure when properly installed ( Think of (o) or a C). The aluminum wall or the pillar becomes the new support and the wood is no longer relevent. If you prefer, when you pillar bed you can build an epoxy wall and full surround the pillar. See pic below. Alternatively you can purchase our SlimLine 7/16'' pillars.
