[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1972901, member: 31264"] It's relatively easy to tell a ground lug from a regular factory lug. Besides the fact that ground lugs are perfectly flat, they also have sharp square corners unless the edges are chamfered. Either way it's easy to see the nice clean edges and flat material. Factory lugs are stamped or punched from a sheet of 3/16 rolled steel. The edge on one side is ragged and the edge on the other side is rounded. Often times you can see the tear marks on the sides. Lastly, you can usually also see that the large flat part is somewhat rounded on one side and sometimes even slightly concave on the other. I've never seen one that I thought was bent from recoil, but I've seen a few that were bent and even cupped in the stamping/punch process. [/QUOTE]
