No, you do not want tape on the recoil lug, anywhere. Sorry, but this is very poor advice. You want that lug to be tight in the machined slot cut in the receiver. Might as well leave it unbedded vs. doing it wrong..
@stevemcguire948Ай бұрын
I'm not sure what you're basing your theories on. Under no circumstances do you want the receiver to end up saddling the recoil lug. If the recoil lug ends up high and the end user ends up tighting the receiver down with interference from the recoil lug the position of the receiver will be different ever single time you tighten it down causing inconsistent point of aim. If you had ever worked on a Tikka, you would know there is nothing snug about a tikka recoil lug in the machined slot. The only point of contact intended by the designers of the receiver is the barrel side of the slot. We made thousands of these stocks and bedded hundreds of tikka rifles without any accuracy issues. It's the same reason ever presicion custom shop, tape the front and sides of a Remington recoil lug when bedding to ensure it dosent hang up and cause a saddle effect when the end user pulls the apart and puts the rifle back together.

I honestly cannot believe that drilling the stock like that is a very good idea, In fack I do not see how any of the drilled holes help in the actual bedding process in any way. Never seen bedding like that before. all the best
@stevemcguire9486 ай бұрын
In fact, it has zero detriment to the stock. It infact makes the aera under the reciver stronger. The holes are used to mechanically lock the beading compound to the stock. Without some type of undercut when beading your compound is useless. Every precision gunsmith uses this method or one similar. To stop the compound from tearing out with the reciver after the compound is set. It's all the very basic principles of composites engineering We are the designers and manufactures of this stock and thousands like it. If you have qestions happy to help.

Why not do pillars too? The recoil lug is odd, is that a tikka design?
@stevemcguire9482 жыл бұрын
Gidday. My stocks have a composite meterial that has a better compression ratio than alloy, pillars would be a disadvantage. Yes that recoil lug is specific to tikka

Would there be any advantage or disadvantage to using an epoxy to permanently secure the recoil lug to the action?
@stevemcguire9482 жыл бұрын
The recoil lug remains in the stock, locking it into the stock is the only way to insure accuracy repeatability with a tikka.

Hi, I hope I showed it in the video that befor it completely sets i back the screws of to insure that dosent happen. They have to be torqued down to reach correct screw and reciver hight.

Thanks for the video this is on my lock down to do list. Can u please just clarify one step. During preparation are the threads in the bottom of the action filled with clay/putty? and then once the action is married back into the stock/bedding compound, you torque the action screws into the putty filled threads?
@stevemcguire9483 жыл бұрын
Yes the screws just push the putty out. Make sure the screws are coated with polish to insure they release
