    Gunsmithing Lapped lugs look good?

    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.

    Gunsmithing Recoil lug alignment

    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.

    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

    Gunsmithing Remington model 700 recoil lug question

    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?
