[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1451189, member: 54178"] Barrelnut, Ruger actually has [I]two[/I] recoil lugs. There are notches milled into the bottom of the action to receive the V part of the two Y-shaped "bedding blocks". These stainless steel blocks serve both as recoil bedding blocks and action bolt pillars, the pillars being the bottom part pf the "Y" blocks. Very clever and it works very well as long as the Y blocks are well glued in at the factory.. The 3 Lug bolts pick up cartridges from double stack magazines much better than traditional 2 lug bolts as the bolt-bottom-to-cartridge base tolerance does not need to be nearly as exact. FYI - When putting a Boyd's laminated stock on a Ruger American Boyd's blocks are only V blocks (not Y blocks) and they require that you epoxy bed them when re-assembling the barreled acton and stock so they precisely fit the action notches. Very narrow pillars must be used if you feel the need on these Boyd stocks as there is not much wood around the action bolts to play with. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
