Thread: Recoil lug adjustment.

I’m dropping a new REM 700 action and barrel into a CNC cut aluminium TSP X chassis. But I have a .5mm to 1mm misalignment between the recoil lug and the slot for it on the stock. Which prevents me from aligning and screwing in the action bolts. If the lug was at least .5mm forward of its position everything would probably fit nicely.

Gunsmith job? Or get the inletting in the stock recut by a friend to provide the extra space I need? Sending it all back is the fairest answer but with the worst outcome.
