[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1874092, member: 63925"] I have been pondering this and decided to ask the brain trust of LRH this question. When a stock (Magpul 700SA drop in) has decided extra space for the recoil lug there are several options that I have used in past but now I am rethinking my process. My thoughts are due to a recoil lug space being over 0.410 in width and standard lug being 0.200 it can swim back strokes in there unless bedded or replaced. [LIST=1] [*]Should the lug be replaced with one that is measured for the space then added bedding? If the lug is fairly snug, do I need to bed anyway? [*]Does a tapered lug provide any better seating than a parallel non-tapered lug? [*]PTG has a 0.400 version that is better but the added dimension on the barrel is a question that I have not had experience in. I am assuming the Remage barrel I have has enough thread to take up the extra 0.200 for headspace. I would contact barrel manufacturer to make sure but still a question for me. [*]I am assuming the larger lug provide more action stability during recoil thus more consistent accuracy. True/False? [/LIST] I am not too old to learn so let it rip. Thanks! Muddy [/QUOTE]
