I am glass bedding my M77 Tang Safety Ruger. The instructions that came with the kit show that you are to relieve the wood around the hole for the lug bolt. I assume this is so no fiberglass will get into the hole.

The problem that I have is that on the M77, the bolt hole is cut at an angle and goes directly into the lug. Thus, there is no way to cut wood around this hole to keep the fiberglass from covering the hole. How have you experts handled this before?

Also, the threaded hole in the lug will fill with fiberglass when I put it into the fiberglass filled lug cut-out in the stock. How have you kept this hole clean of fiberglass?

Thanks.
