[QUOTE="ejg, post: 2391723, member: 12381"] The recoil lug on a T3 only sits about 2.5mm deep in the action. Not much room for error. There is no reason to not bed at least the front action screw surface while gluing the recoil lug in position. The way we do it is open the recoil lug hole so that the recoil lug would not touch any surface when being bedded/glued in position. Apply release agent to your action (we use proper release agent for epoxies). We then remove a small bit of release agent inside the mid area of the recoil lug slot using a rubber abrasive. Then position the degreased recoil lug in the centre of the upside down action, measure with a Vernier that it is centre and push the lug to the front surface. (we get our own lugs made with just about zero slop). Take a drop of thin super glue on a needle tip and let it run into the action/lug. It should shoot in. Let it cure or add accelerator. This we would then bed in the stock in one go. After curing the super glue connection just cracks when one removes the action from the stock. Normally every other T3 just fits into this position, no need to re-bed for another T3. We also use 7.9mm pins with m6 thread at one end and have the action screw holes at 8mm so that no part of the action screw touches the stock after bedding. No part of the barrel should touch the stock... therefore other actions can fit into that bedding. Even for my own rifles I always use our slave actions for bedding, not the action that is used in the stock. Reason is I swop rifles around in stocks depending on season or hunt.
