Just got word from Fred at SSS that my actions 338 LM and 6.5CM were finished, trued and new comp trigger mounted. They were supposed to just simply go back into their respective 110ba and 10ba stocks and be done with it.

Fred got on the phone and said that my recoil lug on the 338 was bent. I asked if it got bent being taken apart etc?
He said not its a common occurrence with the large shank barrels. The lug winds up being a little on the small side because of having to go around the larger shank.

He said I will have to , more than likely, have my stock inletted, to allow room for the heavier lug.

WHY HAVE I NEVER READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE?
The 338 might have 500 rounds down the pipe. If you have that kind of rifle you may want to take it apart and
look at the lug!!!

Now the HELP part. What does my smith need equipment wise to do this RIGHT. Doesnt the lug space need to be perfectly 90 degreese to the centerline with 100 percent contact?

I dont want to hear my smith say "Hey let me get my 'spit' dremmel out 'spit' we'll fixer right up" 'spit'


HELP
