[QUOTE="thunderdawg, post: 697259, member: 46274"] A bit late to the show, but my $.02 worth is if someone has trued the front face of the receiver (and Remington 700s really need this) then making sure that the lug is flat is a good step. Since the recoil lug fits between the receiver face and the barrel shoulder, it is important to have the two lug surfaces parallel to each other. This can be done on a surface grinder but not on a stone. Or, an aftermarket lug that has been surfaced ground would also be ok. Stoning the two recoil lug sides would only get the two sides flat but not necessarily parallel to each other. The last step is to be sure the barrel shoulder is also square to the bore. Maybe this will help future searchers. [/QUOTE]
