[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1672659, member: 9308"] Okay, I've read every variation on what people tape up in regards to the bedding block or bedding lug (front? back? sides? bottom? some of each? all of each?) I went to Brownells.com to the Acraglas listing. Then I clicked on the "LEARN" tab and they have a 10 page PDF file there on how to glass bed a rifle. [URL]https://www.brownells.com/guntech/acraglas-gel/detail.htm?lid=10498[/URL] This is what it says there: [SIZE=5]"Cover the [U]front[/U], [U] sides[/U] and [U]bottom[/U] of the recoil lug with a single layer of Brownells Wide Bedding Tape or smooth, electrician’s tape. The slight clearance created by the tape will make it easier to remove the barreled action from the stock for cleaning and repair. [B]The rear lug surface transfers recoil energy to the stock so it must remain uncovered[/B]; just fill any pits with modeling clay."[/SIZE] This doesn't mean "your" way is wrong. If it has been working for you, then Wunderbar! ([I]Wunderbar = a German expression used in English which means "wonderful".[/I]) But I figured I'd see what the 'gunsmith supply experts' had to say on the matter. And it looks like I'm doing it wrong (I only tape the FRONT of the lug on a Rem 700.) I would have swore that taping the BOTTOM of the lug would be 'wrong', but apparently not. Learning stuff all the time on this forum. [/QUOTE]
