Unique stock regardless of condition

[Dylan Rhodes]

Is a beveled forearm lug synonymous with a BT forearm? Or are there factory examples of a beveled lug onto a splintered forearm? I understand that beveled lugs were created for added strength with BT forearms.

You're mostly correct. The fore end lug is normally only soldered to the bottom rib, and the one-piece design eliminated the BT from pulling it off, since the BT was generally longer than the splinter fore end.
