Heck, I own one with a ground-off stock lug. A "slick-back"--but not in a good way. It ain't pretty, to see the least. This issue made what is otherwise a very nice Artillery affordable to me, since it's been a shooter ever since that genius ground the lug.

Ron is correct about the welding because, If we compare a lugged example with a plain one, one can see that although a lot of the stock lug sticks out, there is plenty of the system that is cut below what would have been the surface of a plain grip strap, and would need to be filled in.
