CZ 452 recoil lug and extra take down screws

[Aussie steve]

I have a 1957 brno model 2 (same as the 452) that I am going to rebarrel. What I was also thinking of doing was adding a recoil lug in the front of the action like remington do, then adding a take down screw into it. I was also going to add a lug onto the tang of the action and add a screw into it giving me 3 screws.

Has anybody done this, did it work, would you do it again, it it tricky?

Thanks

Steve

A lot of guys think a 2 screw bedding system is better that a 3 or 4 screw system as the torque or whatever on the middle screw(s) usually needs to be less or at least different than then on a 2 screw action. I know on the Rem. 700's the middle screw is usually only snugged and the end screws torgued tighter. Max

I was hoping that by adding a screw forward and aft of the middle screw, it could be left pretty well loose, and I'd then do up the screws in the fasion of normal 2 screw actions, the front one pretty tight and the rear one just snugged up. I am not sure if its been done with any luck on these actions, or if there is a better method to use?
