Most of what I have read indicated that one should put a layer of tape on the sides and bottom. This will help you remove the bedded action. Some folks put a layer of tape on the front, some don't. It's the back that needs the tight fit to make sure the recoil forces are evenly distributed/transferred to the stock. Also, Make sure you put release agent on the tape and on the untaped part of the recoil lug.
thanks. I think I'll tape the sides bottom and front. that makes the most sense to me.

I heard you want to leave tape off the sides of a recoil lug because with round actions it helps stop the twisting an action will see from recoil!
