[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1879073, member: 31264"] I'm not sure we are, but I am sure we are aiming for the same result. My suggestion creates a wedge of epoxy at the muzzle side of the lug to hold the lug in place. Crazy glue won't form a wedge - it is a crevice glue that has to penetrate the gap/interface between the receiver and lug. I am not advocating anything at all between the lug and receiver. Try to imagine the Epoxy in my scenario looking a lot like a weld bead along the front edge that does not seep into the gap. The difference is probably only a thousandth or so but a thousandth is actually a lot in this case. I aim for less than a thousandth measured at the forend tip where the distance to the forend tip from the bedding at the receiver magnifies the movement at the receiver many times over. If Boyd epoxied the lug in, you should be able to remove it by heating the lug up with a soldering gun or a tiny torch. Most epoxies will soften when heated. After the lug comes out, you can remove the rest of the epoxy with a mill or dremel. It all has to come out after softening this way. This will not damage the lug or the wood. [/QUOTE]
