I have never lapped or glue-bedded but am thinking about trying it. Here's a question for you...
How do you insert the barrel extension with glue on it without it ending up on the face of the receiver? I'm thinking if the barrel is a reasonable fit it will push the glue onto the face where you don't want it. And if you put less glue on the extension to avoid this surely you could end up with air gaps, so not enough support? Do you push it in most of the way and then clean the excess off the receiver face with a cotton bud, prior to the final seating?
