Bedding 03s and A3s

[Randy A]

Are there any detialed instructions on bedding 03s and A3s. I read some good info from this site, but it didn't answer all of my questions. I also ran across some confliction bits also. One fella mentioned not to bed around the rear lug, I'm pretty inexperienced in actually doing it, but I thought that you always bedded the entire action and what about the trigger guard? What about inletting, do you make the trigger guard and action bolt solid together with slight compression on the wood or leave them apart a bit. Pictures would be great also, any suggestions, books etc.

I would suggest one of Clark Campbell's books: [U]The '03 Era[U. There are four editions of this book and at least the last three have SA's National Match instructions, and Campbell's.
