RARELY does the recoil lug line up well enough to take the load off the screws. Too much variation in receivers for this to work on a production basis

The variation in receivers also causes a varied fit of the rail to the top surfaces of the receiver. The only way to obtain a perfect fit of rail, including the recoil lug, to receiver, is to properly epoxy bed the rail to the receiver and preferably without release agent. RJ

I will say this: I was turned-on to the Badger Ordnance Rails and I just received two rails for a LA and SA M700. The integral recoil lug mates up perfectly to the receivers. I have zero complaints.

So I placed an order for a Mountain tactical receiver length rail with a recoil lug and plan to bed it using Devcon on my Tikka T3X. I've bedded stocks before, so no big deal there. However, with the rail, should I try to also bed the recoil lug? Obviously use liberal amounts of shoe polish for release. Seems like a bit of risk of a lock up with such a small lug and hole. However, I agree with others that unless there was good contact of the lug, then it's not keeping the load off the screws.

Toldjaso. Hint......................(grin) gsg', The Mountain Tactical rail,uses index pins,to interface the top of the receiver,to act as a recoil stop. It is both a good idea and very well executed by them. There is nothing to truly bed,as the mating surfaces are largely piss flat and tough for even Teeker to fhuqk up. Hint. What scope? What application? Keep MAX ring spacing in mind,along with inclination...if only because EVERYTHING below Zero,is 100% fhuqking useless. Hint.....................

Good call, I appreciate it.

On a rifle like a Remington, the front mounting surface might not be level with the rear, which can turn the rail into a banana when you tighten it down, so you bed the gap side. I wouldn't bed a Tikka.
