Gunsmithing Rem oversized recoil lug on a Savage?

[TW159]

I have a Remington over sized recoil lug sitting around from another project and was wondering if it would work on my Savage. I test fit it on an old Savage barrel and it seems a little loose on the shank. Will this matter? the barrel nut should allow for the extra thickness, right?

Any help on this is appreciated.
Thanks

If it's loose on the shank it won't serve any useful purpose for being there. Even when fully torqued down.

My advice is get one made for the Savage barrel you have. They only cost $20-$40. It'll make a world of difference.

I had it so I thought I'd try it. I'll probably just leave it the way it is for now.

Thanks

SSS makes a pretty good one... But go with Jim @ Northland shooting supply. His are the best I have seen. (763) 682-4296

That's the one I got when I got my barrel from him.

Same here. Very happy with it. Going to order 2 more soon. I try to avoid SSS if at all possible but have had and heard many positive experiences with NSS
