Tapco TAP22045 Recoil Lug Silver Stainless Steel Fits Remington 700

The Tapco TAP22045 is a stainless steel recoil lug designed specifically for Remington 700 rifles. If you're rebuilding a 700 action, replacing a worn lug, or assembling a custom rifle, this part handles the job of anchoring the barrel to the receiver and managing recoil forces—critical work that demands a reliable, corrosion-resistant component. Tapco's stainless steel construction resists rust and oxidation, making it suitable for hunters and shooters who work in wet conditions or demand long-term durability without constant maintenance.

A recoil lug is a precision part that sits between the barrel and receiver to transfer recoil loads and maintain structural integrity under fire. The TAP22045's silver stainless finish blends function with a clean appearance, and the design is engineered to fit the Remington 700 platform without modification. Whether you're a gunsmith, serious reloader, or a hands-on shooter tackling your own rifle work, having the correct lug for your action is non-negotiable—getting it wrong compromises safety and accuracy.

Tapco has built its reputation on producing reliable replacement parts and accessories for common rifle platforms. This recoil lug carries that same attention to function-first design. It's not flashy, but it does exactly what it's supposed to do: sit tight, stay put, and keep your rifle's action secure through thousands of rounds.
