New lug for my 1916 Artillery

Generally the stock iron is modified to fit the lug, not the other way around. The guns were finished products to which a stock was fitted. The slot in the stock iron sometimes needs to be relieved (deepened) a little bit to allow it to be fully connected to the lug. A Dremel tool can be used but a better tool is a riffler file.

Ron, I have an attaching stock iron here that will go on about 3/4 of the way...The bottom of the attaching iron is about .010" narrower than the upper portion...

Which part of the iron do you file?
