[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 355260, member: 7449"] Tape the lug on the sides, the front, and the bottom. Use the bad *** stuff 3M sells that's half a mm thick. Tape the back of the tang also. You want this not from a accuracy standpoint, but so that you can get the thing out of the stock without destroying it. The action is moving in the stock anyway during recoil so it doesn't matter. To think otherwise is blue sky-especially with a repeater. Nothing sucks more than watching a tight fitting recoil lug gall the snot out of the bedding during assembly/disassembly. Follow along with me for just a sec. Place your hands as if your in prayer-palm to palm. Now bend your fingers towards your palms keeping the fingertips in contact with one another. Notice how your palms separate? Your stock is doing the same thing in recoil and this is why the smart guys float the tang of the receiver. It's why big boomer cartridges and dangerous game calibers are cross pinned. Cheers, Chad [/QUOTE]
