I certainly don't want to hi-jack this thread, but what is a recoil lug?
Keep the pictures coming....!
The recoil lug is the piece of steel sandwiched between the barrel nut and action. It transfers the recoil to the stock when you fire the rifle. The factory ones can bend, the nice thick ones from SSS do not bend and therefore make the rifle more consistently accurate.

The only time I've ever heard of a factory lug bending was when using uber magnum and dangerous game cartridges with the heavy for caliber bullets. The issue with the factory ones is that they are stamped and as such have a slight taper in thickness from bottom to top. The floating bolt-head pretty much makes the taper a non-issue as far as accuracy goes, but if you're swapping out a barrel it doesn't hurt to go ahead and spend the $25-30 for a quality aftermarket lug that's slightly thicker machined steel and surface ground to ensure flatness.

ponykilr, that is a gorgeous picture. Is that a painted wooden stock? Also, maybe its just me, but I think you need a tactical bolt handle on that bad boy...but no rush...it sounds like you need some R&R for now (get well soon)!
Thanks, It's filled and painted tupperware. I am attempting to get better, it has been a bad road.
Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
Not much but here is my .300 WM I recently got. Not pretty YET! It is a Savage 110 Tactical with a heavy barrel on it and ignore the scope, I just wanted to use it on the next hunt and didn't have the money for the scope I want yet.

Good to see you got your gun. I have been following your story. It will be interesting to see it when we get it done.
Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
Thanks! I will try to get the scope and stock by the end of Feb. but right after H/S I am gonna go to the boats to see if I like it there and then I KNOW I will be able to get that stuff.
Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
This is what I hunt with exclusively. 338 Win Mag for 225 and 250 grain bullets or 338 Cooper Express for 160 Grain Barnes TTSX or 180gr Accubonds. Since its a Savage Action switching barrels is very easy. Also I am shooting a rimmed cartridge case so the magnum bolt head does not have to be changed when switching from a rimmed case to a belted magnum. The benchrest mon-pod and Bi-pod are switched out for Harris folding bi-pods. Horus Vision 3-12 with rangefinder reticles,Leupold base and 30 Mill rings.

Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
No offense Neal but is that thing Legal.
Last I heard you could build a rifle on a pistol(Striker) action but no the other way around.
Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
No offense taken Rooster.
Yes according to BATF. Yes according to Jim at Northland where I have purchased several of the undesignated target actions. Yes according to McGowen barrels who will be selling their actions undesignated shortly.
If it comes from the factory without stock or barrel and is logged in to your FFL as "action only", when you and I fill in that pretty yellow form, at that time it is designated by checking the box you wish to designate it as.
Thank you for making sure.

Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
The new 4473 form's have a box for action/frame. This is only for
bare actions that come from the factory with out a barrel.
Once a barrel is put on, then it has to be a handgun or rifle on the form. The rifles Jim buys and removes the barrels and stocks to sell bare actions have to stay rifles.
Re: Post a Picture of your Rig(s)
Just to clarify - At Northland Shooters Supply we have both versions of Savage Actions. Actions that are from Rifles must be used for Rifle builds only. I also have non designated Savage Factory Actions that were shipped in to me as an Action Only. It is legal to assemble these Actions as either Rifles or Pistols.
Rooster 50 - you are correct in asking if what Neal has is a legal firearm. If you have received a Savage Action it is your responsibility to make sure that the Savage Action you recieved is infact a non designated Action before building it into any type of a Pistol.
I currently have both versions of the Savage Target Actions in stock. I am careful to inquire what my customers want to build so that I can ship them the correct Savage Action for their build. A Savage Action built into a Pistol and later rebuilt into a Rifle can never be assembled as a Pistol again (Federal Felony).
