Bedding a Mini-14?
Bedding won't fix a thing. The gun is designed around bbl tension so try shimming the front of the bbl a bit and if no progress just accept it for what it is.
That being said I do know one fellow who made a water jacket for his and filled it with antifreeze and it stretched the bbl like a Dan Wesson set up and it worked out to be a very accurate rifle with the Ruger bbl. He was machinist and did all the work himself. He said to pay to have it done would be excessive. J.Michael
