Would Devcon steel hold up as a recoil lug ? The two part type that comes in the little box that you mix together. If you were to bed a stock and ground down the stock lug , then used the Devcon as normal . With the tensile of the Devcon , since it is machinable. Just a thought . Any thoughts' on this ?

Machinability means nothing, styrene plastic is machinable, but I wouldn't want to use it in my rifle.
If I don't understand your question, please clarify. I am not sure why you would do what I believe you are asking. Perhaps your post is not as clear to others as it is to you. Can you please provide some diagrams or annotated pictures?
thomae is right. As a more or less non-compressible rest, its great, but its tensile and grip retention are only so good, and a rifle recoil can break all kinds of stuff.
I suggest you bed as the tutorial shows and you'll be happier. Keep the nice stell recoil lug, or even upgrae to a heavier one.

Why would you want to do that....what would be the purpose?Quote:

Not even if you were to skip release agent on the gun and glue it in permanent.
In the case of machining it- you have to take that with a pail of salt. You can drill it. you can file it. You can also do the same with your plastic stock.
Are you talking about on an action that has the recoil lug in the stock like a Tikka? instead of between the barrel shoulder and action?
Is the axis/edge maybe configured this way? I would never consider using anything but steel as a recoil lug, I would imagine that the bolts could break and send a barreled action into your face if a recoil lug broke.
