[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2812404, member: 42494"] Question. After reading comments about the recoil lug being bent and also distorting the action during recoil, I was wondering if a rifle is bedded in an solid aluminum or carbon fiber chassis or if it has an aluminum bedding block in a wood/fiberglass stock, maybe it would be better to remove the recoil lug and let the aluminum block absorb the recoil??? By removing the recoil lug, maybe it would permit the action recoil vibrations to be absorbed more gently by the entire length of the aluminum block/chassis. Sort of a mini free recoil effect, thus not distorting the action. Has anyone tested removing the recoil lug in a chassis or bedding block rifle and letting the chassis free-recoil? [/QUOTE]
