[QUOTE="trebark, post: 412529, member: 19172"] Nomad gave you a pretty good schematic that will breakdown the major parts of a rifle. Let me be more specific on the recoil lug.... First, a recoil lug is a small piece of steel, almost a washer, between the barrel and the action (the barrel screws threw it). [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/recoillug.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/recoilluginstalled.jpg[/IMG] It can increase accuracy because many factory recoil lugs are not precision made. They can have some variance in thickness which means the barrel may not seat squarely against it. This is why most people replace the factory lug when they rebarrel. It does not reduce felt recoil. If anything, it might increase felt recoil. The recoil lug functions to transfer recoil from the barrel to the stock. By having your action bedded into the stock, you get positive fit between action/recoil lug/stock.... [IMG]http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o436/mtgrizzard/recoillugbedded.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
