lug

First time lapping lugs myself. Just wanted to check to make sure it looks like I have full engagement on both lugs and also ask if I should switch up to a jewelers rouge to polish the engagement surfaces a bit or just leave it be and let it self "polish"? Thanks for looking.

How do you align the recoil lug when you are putting on a new barrel. I was thinking of leveling the action and just trying it untill the bottom of the lug is level. But im sure there has got to be a better way. Im not sure what lug I am going to use yet.

I am building a Rem. 700 in .243win. I have some parts already but still need a few more. 1 part I need is a recoil lug. How do I know what size to get?

What advantage does an oversize recoil lug provide over a standard sized recoil lug? I'm about to have my 700P trued up and new Krieger installed and was wondering if it's worth upgrading to the Badger Ordnance recoil lug. Thanks, Al

Pertaining to a Model 700 short action in .308 caliber, what is being gained by replacing the 3/16" thick recoil lug with a thicker lug? What is the real reason why factory recoil lugs are replaced with thicker ones? Can a rifle with a 3/16" lug do everything that a thicker lug can do?

Are the lugs on the bases that lock into the open area of the receiver a necessity for the heavy scopes or is it a belt and suspenders approach? Im going to be running the 8x40 screws and have been bedding the last few bases in steel bed to begin with. I have been a fan of the DNZ mounts on the...

Any reason not to use a factory remington 700 recoil lug take off? This will be used on a .223ai. Thoughts/opinions Please.

What kind of effect, if any, on accuracy when the recoils lug space in the stock is thicker, larger than the actual recoil lug? Just curious to know. Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know if the recoil lug on a Remington 700 supposed to be square with the bottom of the rifle or does it matter? I just got a custom barreled action back from a gunsmith today and the recoil lug is crooked by a few degrees. I would like to find out if that’s normal and acceptable...
