Well, I'm sitting here watching marine-tex dry, when it dawns on me that I did not tape the front, sides, and bottom of my lug. My fault, I've bedded lots but the neighbor wanted to watch and I was trying to time this so I am not up til midnight. What do you guys think? Relieve it later, just run it, or grind it out and start over? Nothing I can do right now. Where ever you are, be all there. Thanks for the help.

Some guys bed that way all the time. Run with it and see what happens. If it gives you problems that you think this is the cause relive it later.

Re: Distracted
FWIW...i HAVE BEDDED ONE MYSELF AND ONLY TAPPED THE FRONT AND IT HAS BEEN FINE, SEEMS LIKE I HAVE READ A POST SOMWHERE THAT SOME FELT THAT IT WAS DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF GIVING THE LUG WIGGLE ROOM, PURPOSE OF BEDDING IS TO HAVE A TIGHT MATING BETWEEN STOCK AND ACTION.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT WOULD MAKE BUT AGGREE TO RUN WITH IT AND ADJUST IF NECESSARY...WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERY RIFLE HAS ITS OWN "SWEET SPOT"

I had the tape slip a little on my lug, it still shoots nice,
I smoothed the front very lightly to make it easier to install..... FWIW

Isn't it crazy how having someone watching can throw off your mindset so much?
