MT recoil lug
I just got my MT metal base plate and recoil lug. Installed them, no problem. Very stoked to have some MT gear on my T3x, .308 stainless.
I understand that on the MT recoil lug, the beveled side goes down. I was not able to find out what side of the bevel goes to the front. I put the longer side of the bevel to the back, shorter side to the front. Anyone have any input on this ?
Also, I torqued the screws to about 48 inch lbs or 4 foot lbs. Just seems like that is not very tight ? Any input on this ?
Also, does the torque spec apply to all 3 screws or just the 2 actions screws ?

Don't think it matters on the direction on the bevel due to the tight tolerances…from what i know its only a relief to stop the lug from binding on the stock when you are inserting. Mine did not come with any instructions on this and its not mentioned anywhere with specifics.
48inch lbs is a little more then what most of us are using on the synthetic and wood stocks…I set mine to a max of 45inch lbs…experimented from 35inch lbs, then 40, and found 45inch lbs helped with improving accuracy on an already great shooting load. Good experiment if you hand load and find a good combo.
Sometimes going down or slightly up in torque on the action screws helps the node accuracy.What 3rd screws are you refereeing to? 2 action screws yes….
Where are you getting the torque specs from? -
The gal at Mountain Tactical said the acton specs were 45-53 . The 3rd screw is the forstock screw. I can back the action screws back down to 40 or so but that seems sort of loose.

I would not go over 50inch lbs of pressure on any NON-pillar bedded synthetic stock.

I di it at 48 but I can back it down to 44 or so.
