Recoil Lug for Mk13 Mod5 Clone?

[jab00]

What's the correct recoil lug for a Mk13 Mod5 clone?

I'm starting to slowly piece together the parts for a build and I know that the Mod 5 does not use the 'L' shaped lug but I haven't been able to find what is the correct lug to use in the AICS chassis. I did a quick search here and didn't find any threads where this was mentioned, so I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction

I'm not an expert on the Mk13 but I believe the L-shaped lug was for the McMillan stocks. The only information that I could find on a Mod 5 recoil lug was that it was 1/4" thick and considering that it dropped into a legacy AICS it would have to be right around stock Remington dimensions so that it could fit without modification.

Thanks. Given that it’s an AICS chassis, I figured that it had to be something close to a factory lug, I’m wondering if there were specific dimensions that Crane would have used in these guns that are different from a factory piece

Other than being a .250" thick lug, why try to reinvent the wheel?

Lol - I know but it just seems too easy to be able to easily buy a MK13 related part. I figured that there had to be a trick to this

It's just a recoil lug, I wouldn't overthink it.

Agree - I'm just going to go with a standard lug and move on to the next part

Are those for sale? Need one for a build

If you don't mind the lug being .063" thicker, the Badger Ordnance M40A3 lug has straight sides.
