What are guys go to recoil lugs for 700's? Looking for something precision ground, heavy duty, hardened, and has a hole in it for pinning. I see PTG has a great selection but Ive heard all kinds of things about PTG recently. Are they hardened?
Thanks
 
I always thought that DD Ross was the standard, but thats not based on much experience. A couple of years ago he made the thickest and longest recoil lug that i knew of. As far as pinning goes i think thats something that just about any smith could tap and complete with any lug, but i could be wrong.
