[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 896859, member: 1290"] It's all about being stress free. I wouldn't try to bed only the lug. I would bed the whole action or at the very least around the rear tang and the front receiver bridge including the lug. I put a blue piece of tape down in the stock in front of the lug and then once cured, mill down to it and when it's thin enough just peel it out leaving the stock perfectly clean. If all your bedding is the lug there should not be much getting any on the front screw. Just use a couple coats of Kiwi neutral shoe polish as a release agent and after about 4 to 6 hours you can pull the front screw. I do it with the bottom metal on to help align the action but do not tighten the screws at all. 1 zip tie at the rear of the action and one around the end at about the front swivel stud. Right where the zip tie goes around it the barrel will have just enough tape around it to center it side to side and assure the show line (ejection port) along the action is perfectly flush. [/QUOTE]
