Bedding the barrel - how far forward?
« on: February 23, 2006, 06:44:19 AM »
How far forward from the hinge piece should the barrel be bedded?  My interpretation of the FAQ link was 1/2" but I wasn't real clear on it.  My original intent was to steel bed the barrel from the hinge piece to the barrel stud.  Too much?

What about the inletting for the barrel stud and support thingy?  Should that also be bedded?  The forend I've got has a much larger inletted area than the factory forend (and barrel stud support thingy; please somebody tell me what that's really called).

Thanks in advance.  -WSJ
