[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1160810, member: 50867"] The recoil lug transfers much of the force produced by recoil from the barrel to the mass of the stock. The thickness of the recoil lug determines how much flex, of any, it will have when forces are applied to it. Theoretically, and ovbviously not without merit, the idea is that a thin recoil lug will flex more than a thicker version of the same device. The edges of recoil lugs are rounded to reduce the tendency for the edges to dig into the stock/bedding material when assembling the action into the stock. The same applies to tapered as opposed to straight sided models. The taper allows the finished assembly to be positioned more accurately, allowing for more accurate overall alignment, when placing the barreled action into the stock. Taller recoil lugs penetrate deeper into the stock so their surface area is greater when bedded into the stock. [/QUOTE]
