[QUOTE="nealm66, post: 2704598, member: 114809"] Yes, before action screws. It should sit nice and flat with no high spot it can rock on. I’ve had to make a 1/8 “ wide band of electrical tape around the tang to get one to lay flat and then bed again after I removed the tape. Hopefully you’ve got a dremel or similar. Like others have mentioned, I bed everything that should make contact and go a little thicker and just dremel off the excess. I’m definitely not a pro but I’ve screwed up enough times to qualify as amateur. I also lightly tighten the action screws and then tape tight and pull the action screws out. Definitely want to make sure the inside threads are clean of any bedding before assembly. I think the devcon I purchased cost about $100 but have done 5 or 6 and still have plenty left. Dremeling the excess wasn’t too bad. I hate to say but I’d probably start over with yours just by the pictures but definitely more knowledgeable guys on here than me [/QUOTE]
