Other than the recoil lug and a thin layer by the front screw, I am not 100% sure where else I need to put bedding compound. I have some pictures that may help others explain to me where to put the compound. I do understand that I need to put a thin layer on the front of the bedding block around the screw hole and the recoil lug. Do I also put some bedding by the rear screw? Where else?
