A time saver! This high quality tool is secured to the front of the receiver by an Allen head screw. A slot, precisely milled in the front of the tool, guarantees the proper positioning of the recoil lug. No more wasted time from having the lug cant to one side as the barrel is tightened into the receiver.

Well made but not for a Remington 783 action

It's a well made tool so I gave it 5 stars. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the Remington 783 action.

Perfect tool

This is a great tool to keep the lug aligned. Easy to set up in seconds.

Works good

I'm a gunsmith and while this tool can be made, it takes time. Time is money. Works flawlessly with stock 700 lugs. Drops the action right back into place time after time with bedded actions.

Perfect jig

This is the perfect thing for the non-gunsmith to line up the recoil lug correctly when using a barrel nut system for the barrel.

Used it alot

Need to have it for barreling the 700, gotta have it.
