Round barrels sometimes require soldered lugs or sights. Thin walled barrels often require soldered lugs or sights.

Prompt service: Our gunsmith will install our underlug using solder, for standard (halfstock size) wedge key, small (fullstock size) wedge key, or for a round steel dowel pin. Shop time typically requires 7 to 10 days for labor.

Underlug slot positions vary, depending on the style of rifle. Specify the number of lugs required, your choice of locations, or specify which of our pre-inlet stocks or plan drawings we should match, or allow our gunsmith to determine the best locations for your lugs. Most longrifles require three lugs.

Plain lugs are installed for pins. Slotted lugs may be installed for pin, as preferred by some gunmakers.

Slotted lugs are installed for keys. Specify which lug, or which key the lug must fit. Slotted lugs often require some fitting of the key to the slot, during final assembly.
