[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 403741, member: 24284"] A knowledgeable customer is a happier customer. Use a custom lug! The idea is to have the surface that bears against both the barrel and action be 90 deg. to the hole that fits over the tenon and to have that bearing surface the same thickness everywhere the barrel shoulder and receiver touch when the barrel is torqued on (with the lug sandwiched inbettween). Ya', they're thicker. But I think that is for manufacturing purposes not for strength. The original lug is 3/16" thick. You would need to put it in a vise and use a hammer to bend it. If that 3/16" lug isn't strong enough when used, you got serious problems. I think the "thicker, stronger" lingo is advertising. "Wider" might have some merit with heavy recoiling calibers. [/QUOTE]
