I got a new stock for my 99F in .308, and in inletting the butt stock to fit my action, I decided to take out a bit more wood behind the recoil lug and bed that area with epoxy. I waxed up the recoil lug, and the stock bolt, laid in the epoxy, then tightened her down. When it was cured, I pulled it apart and the bedding looks good. Pretty sure it will strengthen that area. I also impregnated the thin area behind the safety tang with super thin cyanoacrylate. We'll see how it works. Haven't shot it yet.
