1. 0 float the entire barrel
2. the recoil lug only gets bedded on the rear side(action side). put a couple layers of tape on the front &sides of the lug , the whole barrel nut, and 5 or 6 inches up the barrel to protect them against overflow.
3. few layers of tape works fine
4. I install long action screws with the heads cut off into the action and tape them so they fit tight into the pillars. That way no bedding material gets in the pillars. It also helps you line the action up before it sits in the bedding. Then I used tape to hold it in, but surgical tubing works really well too.
Remember to use a release agant on everything you dont want the bedding to adhere too. I even did my stock on the outside. Also remember to fill all the holes and indentations in the action with modeling clay or play-doh.
Have everything ready and do a dry run before you apply the bedding material, just to make sure all avenues are covered.
