sounds like you bought somebody’s spare parts build. Lol.

Have you shot it yet? Curious how it shoots missing a recoil lug. Although I wouldn’t be doing much of that. Seems it would be hard on the action screws and receiver threads.

There is another post about going to a Swede. I think sharpshooter answered that.

Is it a center or stagger feed?

It was in parts on the bench when I got it, I haven't shot it without the barrel lug. And yes I'm pretty sure it was someone else's spare parts or the beginning of a project, I think the original plan was to make a long range target rifle out of it.

I notice there are several different thickness of recoil lug, is there any advantage to the thicker ones in a .308?

The magazine box is attached to the action, so I'm guessing it's a stagger feed. Which after a little more searching doesn't look like it is easy to convert to short action, but others say the .308 should feed from the long action box just fine.
