Thread: Bedding a 75

I relieve taped the front of the recoil lug, and bedded the parallel portion of the knox forward of that.

Yea I was of course going to clearance all but the thrust face of the recoil lug and the outside vertical faces of the action but was in two minds what to do around the key like bit of the action fore and aft of the recoil lug.

After a measure up factory has plenty of clearance on the vertical faces of that key like bit so I guess I had better replicate that.

I never intended to fully bed it just the front and rear areas to tidy up the bedding after ripping out stock material.
