[QUOTE=tobnpr;177272but I wish they made a separate lug for Savages with a notch-shaped protrusion to fit the action instead of the pin. I ended up using a pin-punch to keep it centered when torquing the barrel down, hopefully someone has a better idea.

This is what I use to locate and install a second pin in the top of the lug / ring. I drill the lug through and "dimple" the ring 3/32" deep with a #93 bit then press in a piece of a 1/16"drill bit then make over sized lower pin for a slight press fit in the action mortice.

The two pins eliminate any up-down and side to side slop between the barrel and lug bore.


Its my Savageized version of a pinned lug for a switch barrel Rem.
