Hi all.
I just replaced the full length stock on my CZ 550 FS 9.3x62 with an older CZ 550 American stock, also from a 9.3x62.
The CZ's use a second under barrel recoil lug dovetailed into the barrel. CZ obviously changed the location of the lug as the 'new' stock has the lug recess a bit further back so I had to remove the second under-barrel to get it to work (just slides out). The rest fits well.
The stock as a steel recoil lug plate and 2 cross bolts. The CZ action also has a large recoil lug, bigger than a M98.
Is this second under-barrel lug really necessary on a 9.3x62? Many 9.3's don't have this feature, including M98 actioned rifles which have smaller recoil lugs than the CZ. 9.3x62 has fairly stiff recoil but its not a real hard kicking cartridge, as many of you know.
Opinions? Has anyone else removed this second recoil lug (the aftermarket B&C stock that some people buy don't accommodate the second under barrel lug).
Thanks
