[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1163038, member: 4191"] [b]Re: Glass Bedding the Recoil Lug[/b] Thanks for the recommendations. Had several hours on the internet yesterday researching this. Finding no overwhelming consensus, other than the bottom of the lug must be relieved with tape. It makes sense that different actions with different recoil lugs, some integral and some sandwiched between the barrel and the action, might do best with slight variations in bedding of the recoil lug. I'll offer this. Some that have experimented have said they didn't experience any difference in accuracy with variations of taping the front and sides of their recoil lugs. When I receive my action back from the smith, I'll measure the lug to confirm which sides are tapered. I may leave tapered sides in full contact with the Devcon. One mentioned that right twist barrels only torque the action counterclockwise in the stock, such that only the right side of the recoil lug could resist this rotational force. I can always go into the recoil lug recess after bedding and remove Devcon with a sharp tool from the front and sides at a later time, if I see some fliers with those surfaces in contact with the Devcon. Edd's recommendation is sounding good right now. [/QUOTE]
