FULLY-bedded fore-ends

[lostsniper308]

Now i've heard good results from bedding certain areas of the fore-end but has anyone actually bedded the fore-end from back to the very end of it? minus the lug hole, or maybe even filling that in as well and plugging the threads of the barrel lug to push out the excess in the hole? Imagining it in thy head it just seems like it would work.
Suppose to open up this thread a bit more, anyone had bad results as of bedding?

I could be totally wrong here, but didn't Fred totally bed one?

I bought a second hand .280 that was already fully bedded and dang that thing will shoot better than me with factory Remington fodder.  My best 100 yd groups were 5 shots, 1-1/4" CTC, shot kneeling behind a 4 wheeler using the seat as a rest.  With a proper rest and a better shooter I have little doubt that it could shoot MOA or better.

Yes I did. It works well. Used DOW Great Stuff expansion foam with 15# fore arm tip up lift and a thin rubber washer between the barrel stud and the wood. The hinge piece gets solid Steel Bed bedding and fitted tight to the action.

The process starts at the standing breech, the underlug, the hinge pin, the action well, the hinge piece. Everything gets fitted tight and all the slop gets removed. If you have a gap in the breech then the forearm wont be tight either.

ya i typed the wrong title for this thread, I meant " FULLY BEDDED fore-end " but i bet y'all figured that out.

My fore-end isn't tight when the rifle is locked up, it used to be before I took off the plastic spacer thingy and sanded the wood a tad. Anything i can use to shim the fore-end to snug things up,
