I will be replacing the factory recoil lug with a future barrel swap. I want to keep all of the metal dark/blued. Does anyone make a non-stainless steel recoil lug?
If not, is there a way to blue a stainless steel lug without having to use a hot method?
Can I get away with simply painting it?
Thanks

You could use a recoil lug intended for a remington and cold blue it since most come in the white. The only problem is that most will not come with a pin to register in the groove of a Savage.
Or, you could always use a magic marker. It won't be very durable, but will be easy to touch up.
I think Brownells makes a cold applied product that blackens stainless. If I come across it I'll let you know.

Thanks. I appreciate that. I did check Brownells but didn't find anything that would do the job.

SSS has ones that are powder coated black, they match blue almost perfect.

I had Fred at SSS put one on a custom build that was otherwise a blued action and barrel. Whatever he did to the lug made it look identical to the blued stuff.

I tried the Caswell Blackner, but I was never happy with the results. I believe you could get a closer match with spray paint.
