[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1738398, member: 18849"] [ATTACH=full]154540[/ATTACH] As J.E. mentioned it would also be wise to pin the lug to the action. Any future barrel swap or even headspace adjustment may result in a mislocation that would not match your "soon to be" bedding job. Although you are not using an action wrench, this is my setup for holding an unpinned lug while tightening. Shown is a savage (which is pinned) for illustration. The action wrench is tapped for the stud and the "washer/shims" stop the lug from following the barrel or nut when tightening. [/QUOTE]
