[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 54964, member: 66"] Ian, Great topic! Back to the Basics!! Mind if I add a little? 1. Taping the sides and front of a lug gives two benefits. A.It allows the action to be removed from the stock a little easier. B. When the chamber area heats up from shooting, some of that heat finds it's way into the lug. Metal expands when heated and if the lug was bedded tight it would have no where to expand except up. This would place a little stress on the barrel/ action thread joint and could cause weird things (ie flyers) to happen. 2. Bedding bottom metal is a cosemetic thing, especially when pillars are used. i almost never bed the bottom in an HS because the stock chips out very easily when pulling the metal out. [/QUOTE]
