[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1199707, member: 48559"] When I did my most recent DIY build on a Stevens 200, the rail I used had a small gap at the rear of the receiver, and also had no recoil lug on its underside. To deal with this I did a two-step process. First, bedding to fill the gap. Here is a youtube video on that procedure, which I followed pretty much exactly as you see John McQuay do it: [U][U][URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoW5bHQqgis[/URL][/U][/U] Then to deal with the lack of a recoil lug, I did a "poor man's pin job", something I saw in John Burn's "Optimizing the factory rifle". After the epoxy pad from the above process was fully cured, I cut a small "X" in the top of the receiver between each pair of screw holes, and a corresponding "X" in the underside of my rail, then literally glued the whole thing together using more bedding compound. I don't intend to remove the rail for any reason, but I did put release agent on the screws just in case. [/QUOTE]
