[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1083731, member: 1290"] I love building tools and fixtures to help do a better job. No criticism was meant. About factory lugs though. Have you ever tried putting a tenth indicator up against a factory lug secured in the action and barrel like they are supposed to be? I can flex it with my thumb. Not much but I can. A .250" lug I can not. .250" lugs just seem to make the rifle feel much more solid under recoil. I'm sure I could never actually feel the difference in a blind test but knowing the lug is not flexing as much makes me think the flex and vibration is helped dampened by the heavier lug. I throw factory lugs away. Same as take of barrels. Even if they were worth using the time spent reconditioning them is far more valuable spent in rifle production. If I were to do all what you are doing to a lug I would have to charge $75 for that blueprinted lug. Holland hand delivers precision hardened lugs to me for 1/3 of that. [/QUOTE]
