Bedding Anti-x

[Canyonhunter]

Hey everyone I'm considering the defiance Ant-x action but I'm concerned about bedding it with the skeletonized recoil lug. Just tape over the voids and it will be fine?

Thanks in advance for the help

If you tape up the voids, then you're introducing a tolerance not accounted for (the thickness of the tape). What stock are you putting it in?

Fill in voids with modeling clay, add a couple layers of tape to front, sides, and bottom of lug.

Or put it in a carbon manners with mini chassis.

Thanks all. I have not selected a stock yet but I was considering a Manners. I'll investigate the carbon with mini chassis. Im assuming it doesn't require bedding? This will be my first custom gun!

In most cases, bedding is not needed. Out of all my Manners builds, I only skim bedded my T4A build. Which, honestly, probably didn't need it.

Anybody have a problem bedding with putty in the voids and tape? Or better idea?

Modeling clay will work. Just make sure to coat in release agent.
