Locking lugs
« on: May 15, 2004, 07:24:13 PM »
How many different types of locking lugs are there?  I seem to have three idfferent styles on the barrels I own.

Locking lugs

I'm aware of only three types, but there may be more.  The earliest ones were solid lugs with sort of a step for the locking surface.  They used a separate pin which rode in a cut out in the lug and was captured by the barrel lug to actuate the lugs when the trigger guard was pulled.  The second style (of which I am aware) used the same type of actuating pin but was split longtitudinally and had a more tapered locking surface.  The latest style (again, of which I am aware) has the actuating "ears" integral to the lug and does not appear to be split longtitudinally.  If anyone has seen other styles, we'd all like to hear about them.

a while, but in a conversation with TC, they indicated the split lugs(second style) came in 3 basic lengths. It can get a bit confusing, when they are loose in the box!
