[QUOTE="4LClover, post: 492689, member: 27558"] I removed a fair amount of material behind this lug (1/4") to be replaced with Steelbed which is harder. The lug is a bit loose in the reciever groove so the lug gets covered with Steelbed too (sand with carborundum). A couple wraps with electrical tape at both ends of the reciever and wait 12 hrs. At this point the fit is real tight so remove the small amount of steelbed on the back of the lug with a mototool and it goes together nicely. I have done two T3's now and they are not too difficult. After the epoxy cures, bed the part of the stock in front of the reciever that touches the barrel. Grind off both ears on this doohickey until it is not touching the barrel, apply epoxy and torque both action screws. Tikka recommends 65 in/lb but I use 45 in/lb. This allows stress free bedding of this area. I will be doing an A7 this week and will try to post some photos. Do you know how to post photos here? Me and computers are ....uhhh..... [/QUOTE]
