I don't think so. I know people have used hot glue, and that's a hot mess, and totally worthless.
Read a great deal about bedding the recoil lug on inexpensive plastic stocks and the results are mixed. This may be a less than brilliant question but as a temporary or simple test could tape around the recoil lug be used to snug up or reduce any gap if any between e recoil lug and the slot it fits into? Just seems it could be a simple and quick experiment to see if bedding would have any benefit? I know it is not durable etc but seems like it might be a easy and reversible test and if it showed improvement in reducing groups from 3/4 to something smaller then the stock could be properly bedded.
I know it is "Rube Goldberg" but ?
Any feedbak on this approach or has someone tried this or something similar?

When you permenatly decide to bed the rifle tape around the front, bottom, and each of the sides. Leave the back(contact side) clean.
How I do it anyhow.
There is a bedding technique that is being used for 22 rim fire rifle. Some in the rim fire world use aluminum tape to bed their rifles. If you want to try something a little different then I would try the aluminum tape. It will require many, many layers.
I'm not suggesting that use the rim fire tape method and I'm not sure I would try it, but I'm pretty sure that I would not admit it if I did.
The tape on the all but the rear of the lug makes it easier to take apart and you remove the tape after bedding. I always bump the butt when putting it together to make sure the lug is tight against the bedding.

The purpose of bedding the stock in the lug area is to ensure perfect contact and recoil transfer from the recoil lug to the stock.
I don't think "shimming" with tape would have the desired effect.

Exactly right Jeep! That's why I bump the stock when putting it together.
