free floating tang

[rsbhunter]

I bought one of the B&C medalist tactical stocks for my Stevens 200 SA. I did a "skim" coat bedding job that came out really well. When i bedded it, i did not use any material on the tang area, but put 2 layers of blue painters tape on tang to keep it "free floating..did not put any pressure on rear action/trigger guard screw, just till i felt it start to contact housing..... as far as the free floated tang area, are you supposed to be able to slip paper underneath it like a free floated bbl?...below is a pic of the bedding job...thanks, rsbhunter

Yep, just like the barrel. Paper will go under it until it hits the safety.

Is the tang free floated up both sides, to the start of action? Or just at tail end by saftey.
