Factory recoil lugs are stamped, which tend not to give the truest face square to the action. They do OK for what they are, but whenever you re-barrel, it's always recommended to just go ahead pick up a machined lug to replace it. It provides an improved even distribution of the recoil into the stock/chassis.
