...But as I stated above and according to Dean at Wby, you don`t need all the lugs in absolutely perfect contact with one another.
So the guy from Weatherby told you that the lugs don't need to be in perfect contact with one another?
You do realize the lugs do not contact each other at all right? The only thing they will be contacting the lug recesses in the receiver. Getting as much contact as possible between the lugs and the receiver is vital to having a repeatably accurate, and safe gun.
.....In my post, I was trying to paraphrase his comments as best as possible. I may have not quoted his exact verbage correctly, but I think you get the idea of what he was referring to.
And yes I do realize that the lugs don`t contact each other.
As to why 9 lugs in the MK5 action design as opposed to two or three? Ask the folks at Wby. I didn`t ask him that.
After all is said and done, the darn thing is a shooter so I`m extremely satisfied.
