[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 896607, member: 50419"] I am preparing to bed the recoil lug on my Sendero with the HS stock. I got the thing shooting about 1/2 MOA but I am curious if I can just squeak a hair more accuracy out of it. I have been reading for months about this, but am hoping to finally get after it in the next few weeks but I have a few things I want to clarify with some of you experts before I get started so I don't have any problems. I know that I should put release agent, and plenty of it, on absolutely anything I don't want it to stick too. I get that. But what do I do about the action screws???? Do I coat them with release agent? Even if I do that, it seems to me that the bedding compound that squishes out of the recess for the recoil lug would get into the hole for that front action screw either way. This is one question that I haven't seemed to be able to rationalize in my head properly. I just want to make sure I get it right. Maybe I am just over thinking it but I would rather ask the dumb question than not ask it and get it wrong. Also, do you leave the bottom metal on when I am bedding the recoil lug? Lastly, is there a good way to keep the compound from running in front of the lug down the barrel channel after it squishes out or is it just easier to get it out with a dremel or something after the bedding job is done? Thanks for the help. It doesn't seem like this stuff is not a rocket science but I want to make sure I have a few of the finer details worked out before I get after it. Thanks [/QUOTE]
