bsa, Sorry if I missed something I shouldn't have in your post. I will indeed study it more. So I understand, are you and advocate of the bottom of the recoil lug bearing some of the weight when the front screw is torqued down, or do you relive the area underneath the lug itself so that all the down force is on the flat of the recoil lug under the action, and the round part of the receiver directly in front of the lug?
I much appreciate your expertise and appreciate the input.

Thanks,
Rex
