Remington 700 Recoil Lug .193-.194

When I needed a specific thickness recoil lug to put a switch barrel on a different action, I just ordered one from PT&G. It didn't take too long and wasn't outrageously expensive (at least at that time/been a few years).
Just throwing that out there as an option.

Can a standard width be milled down to your thickness?
Tight.. No drop. Have to push down with thumb.
Feels about .002 too short .
A few new factory rounds feel the same.
This is a hunting rifle.
My other 308 rifle chambers are between my "go" and "no-go" and all my different reloads are tight so trying to get closer to my resizing setting.
As you said … I can probably run like that but that little bit will be about perfect for my brass setting.
I never see Rem 700 lugs that thick though…just hoping one is out there instead of ordering a custom machined thickness.

FYI... Update…I just got back from shooting 4 rounds for function, chrono and sight-in.
Snug fit when chambering a round.
PTG "go-guage" reads 1.624 5" on my Hornady .400 comparator.
LOADED rounds measured 1.624"-1.625" with same .400 comparator. This is what my hunting rounds are after sizing with a .002 shoulder bump.
Tight bolt and had to slightly bump handle to extract... normal slightly flattened primer with no other pressure signs.
Fired cases measured 1.624"-1.624 5" from this rifle.
Fired cases from 3 of my other 308 rifles 1.627"-1.628"
That .002 extra would surely make me happy to have all of these using the same sized brass!
