Dennis,
Whether or not the lug was manufactured by SSS or was some beat up and bent factory lug that fell into the wrong supply bin at the warehouse, if I understand what buxman66 has posted, buxman66 entered into a contract with Gun Shack. He was not satisfied with the merchandise he received. He contacted Gun Shack and his problem was quickly resolved.

I see that as the end of the story.

If the lug in question was a SSS lug and was not up to specifications, that would be an issue between Gun Shack (the retailer) and SSS (the supplier), not involving buxman66.
