[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 529529, member: 2736"] I do much like Kevin does. I replace all recoil lugs because they are all uneven and there is no reason to squair and true an action and then place a uneven recoil lug between the shoulder/ barrel nut and the reciever. Most if not all recoil lugs are punched out, and the after market ones are laser cut and then surface ground so they are true. I don't use the barrel nut so I don't pin the recoil lug And my tooling aligns the lug without a pin even if the lug has the pin hole drilled in it. When replacing the recoil lug The proper thickness is important if you dont want to have to open up the stock or mill some of the aluminum bedding block away for clearance. Most factory lugs are around .187 thousandths I like to use the .200 or the .228 thickness lugs because of strength and ease of installation. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
