Gunsmithing Lug question

[jhedg]

I see alot of stocks for sale that are cut for specific lugs. My question is if you I have a reg Rem lug, and buy a stock cut for a diffrent recoil lug is it possible to get it to work? and how would it work. Also if I had to open up the lug area on a stock for a oversize lug and did not butcher to bad would the bedding fix the fit? Are these stupid questions? I would send some of the work I want done off to some of the gunsmiths I here about, but like a lot of people I am not patient. and just want to shoot, so I am not big into the lifetime turnaround time I here alot about.I know the old saying "you get what you pay for" thanks all

Re: Lug question

When the lug channel is opened up, they do it from the lug forward (towards muzzle) so it will still work with a standard Rem lug. And yes, bedding will fix the 'fit'.

Re: Lug question

Brings up a good point. If you have a stock inletted, might as well have it inletted for a larger recoil lug since it will still work.
I bought an A5 for my .243 SPS. I didnt have the lug area opened up larger than factory but I should have! Now I'll have to do it before I rebarrel my rifle and bed it.

The only contact point on the lug is the rear. Sides, front, and bottom shouldnt touch anything.

Front and bottom make sense...
but the sides aren't supposed to touch at all?
I thought a snug "slip" fit was desired?
want to know if I am doing it "wrong"
thanks,

Re: Lug question

Side pressure=bad. Firm bed to the rear of lug=good. All recoil reaction forces should be in line with the barrel to eliminate side/up/down vibrations as much as possible.
