[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 134569, member: 8843"] Hey Kirby , have you ever seen used or heard anything about the Calahan recoil lugs that Midway sells , they are suppose to be surface lapped and can be had in several thicknesses up to .500". I ask because I have been pondering welding the recoil lug to the action before opening it up and rethreading that way it'll add a little more tennon length (1/2"). I have got a pretty good method of controling the heat and keeping it off the lug recesses , but I'm sure the lug would have to be trued again after it was welded I personaly like the Holland lug becasue it matches the action diameter realy well and doesne't have the step like the Tubb or factory does.
