NO ... just some accustock lugs.
If you need a lug with a pin, let me know... but these will not drop into a accustock. They will fit reg inletting for a thick lug.

Thanks Jerry,
I have it in a Cadex.
I’ve got it lined up straight but would’ve liked the lug with the pin
It’s a square cutout in the action,so would need a lug with a square pin
A round peg on the lug would engage the notch in the receiver just fine, if it is the same width.
Remington does not use an indexing system on its rifles. An indexing jig is used to hold the lug in place as the barrel is torqued in. No doubt a similar system could be used on a Savage to avoid having to eyeball it. As the barrel, barrel nut and receiver are tightened together, the lug would be inclined to shift. It can be tapped with a non-marring hammer in an attempt to keep it in position.

Yes it was a bit of PITA to get it to index correctly, but it looks true now.
But I still rather have a lug with the peg.
All the lugs I’ve seen on the internet have round pegs and they look like they would be to small.
It’s odd that the action has a cutout for a square peg but no peg on the lug.
I e watched a couple of you tube videos, on installing the barrel.
All the recoil lugs has the square peg.
The notch in the receiver is probably present in all receivers. The standard Savage recoil lug has a formed flange to match.
The jig for locating a Remington recoil lug is a simple thing. Piece of heavy walled tube cut away to form a saddle. Notch to engage the recoil lug, hole for a screw to fasten to the receiver. I've made them, takes a bit of careful layout work to insure that the lug is held centered. The center line of the lug has to be in line with the hole for the forward action screw.
Rebarrelled one rifle with a separate recoil lug, and no way of controlling positive alignment while torqueing in the barrel; think it was a Krico. Real pain in the butt.
