Hello ASSRA Members
I recently purchased a Carl Gustav sporterized roller in 8x56R. This is my most recent project rifle. I purchased new wood from Treebone carving and I intend to make the old girl look more like an original Remington sporting rifle.
The bore on the rifle is excellent and she shoots nicely with cast loads. I've search for answers regarding bedding of the forearm. Some advocate free-floating the forearm and bedding the proximal aspect where it meets the receiver. 
Is there a reason not to bed the forearm at the receiver as well as along the barrel channel? This rifle will be used for recreational shooting and deer hunting.
Thanks in advance.

I bed the forearm to the barrel, but I leave a very small gap where the forearm meets the front of the receiver. Just enough to slide a dollar bill into the gap. 
I've found this works best for me, and I do it on all my stock sets.

I like Marlinguy only bed the barrel to the for end. I usually bed the front of the receiver when I do the barrel then relieve the receiver contact once the bedding has hardened. Doing this has the added benefitt of sealing the end grain of the wood from moisture.

Thanks for your input guys. I'll figure out what I'm going to do whenever I start working on the forestock. 
Last weekend, I fitted the butt to the receiver and glass bedded it. I have a lot of shaping and scraping to get the stock contour to where I'm happy with it.
