[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 626932, member: 22335"] Phil, If you bed the stock, the 1/16 space behind the recoil lug doesn't matter, as the bedding material will fill it. I'd say that most of the stocks that owners just bolt on to their actions don't fit that well and probably have a gap under or behind the recoil lug. They even come that way from the factory. :D Whatever you do, get that grease out of there, as it will make any bedding more difficult as bedding and grease don't get along. I sent you pictures of my stock. Note that I also had to remove material behind the rear of the action. Using a Dremel and a tiny attachment I undercut the "color coat" of the stock and removed some of the foam underlayment. Once I had enough removed I then used tape on the back of the action when I bedded it, and the bedding material formed a new "back wall" to that area of the stock. The tape left a gap, and the rear of the action doesn't form any recoil lug. [/QUOTE]
