Recoil lugs and barrel nuts
Hope everone's doing OK. It's been a while since I've had a chance to get on the forums. I've been busy working on my build, the 7mm Valkyrie. I've had quite alot of advice and counciling by AckleymanII because this was my first build. A stainless Savage 116 that was originally a 7mm Rem. Mag. I bought a reamer from PTG and made a stabilized reamer drive with a flex joint and a hand fitted a bushing for the rear of the action to hold the reamer drive in alignment, and re-chambered the 7 Rem. to a & Val. Re-did the trigger with the help of Foxx who sent me some spring wire for the trigger until I can get an aftermarket trigger. I put it in a Boyd's heavy thumbhole varmint stock and had to fit the thumbhole and L.O.P. to me, I'm 5'6" maybe. Floated the barrel. Bedded the action and added pillars. Got a magazine and bottom metal w/trigger guard from Accurate-Mag. The magazine length is 3.850 so I could load 160 - 175 gr. bullets without using too much case volume. Installed and fitted a Limbsaver recoil pad. New firing pin and a 17 lb. (?) Wolff firing pin spring. Put on Leupold base and rings with a illuminated dot 2.5 - 10 x 56 sf 30 mm Weaver scope.
OK, now to the point, I bought a 32" stainless barrel to rechamber to +/- 30". I need opinions on the barrel nuts and lugs from "Northland Shooters Supply". I've never done any business with them and I'm seeing the lugs and barrel nuts from them very reasonably priced and basically the same thing for sale other places considerably more expensive. Just how good is the Northland Shooters Supply parts, spacifically the barrel lugs and nuts for a regular shank Savage barrel? Thanks, your opinions will be greatly appreciated, Thank You, :noidea: :usa2: Paul E-Mail address neese.paul@yahoo.com
