Very nice! Is the barrel channel glass bedded? I've been considering doing that with my build to get a seemless fit.

Yes it is,  Makes the gun stronger and able to take recoil...

Do you have to inlet the barrel channel deeper than normal to accommodate the glass bedding?

Yes it is a loose fit to start.  I try to keep the top edge of forearm close to barrel so glas doesn't show.  What your seeing is only about a 1/16" thick if that.
