[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1277313, member: 2736"] Actually, Many rifle makers do exactly that and have different thicknesses of recoil lugs to correct head space that is beyond spec. The barrels are pre chambered and threaded before assembly and are not always exactly dimensioned. There are standard recoil lug thicknesses and the 700 Remington normally uses a .187 thick lug. And the factory assembler has many different thickness to chose from in .0005 increments to bring the head space in spec. Aftermarket replacements are normally .186 to .500 It is also common when facing of the receiver (Part of the blueprinting process) the smith removes just enough to replace the factory lug with a .200 thick lug and headspace the factory chamber correctly.
