Came in today! Drops right into my Renegade stock. Needs some work with the wedge where it installs onto the barrel. Someone cut it slightly over sized and so it needs either a shim or better yet a couple quick welds to keep it in place. The under rib will need some new screws, just some real small stuff. Looks to be in real good shape so this will be a fun project 
Will take some pictures of it when i get hope. Its Aprox 30" long so that will be nice for a bit more barrel to burn the powder.

I'm not exactly sure I know what part you are referring to, but if it is the barrel lug, the part that attaches under the barrel that the wedge pin slides through after the barrel is on the stock to hold the barrel on the stock, use a punch and put a dimple on the barrel side of the part, and put it back. That should tighten it up. That's what they say to do when putting a kit rifle together if the barrel lug is loose.

I took a small piece of cleaning patch and placed it between the barrel lug and the barrel on my Traditions Deerhunter and it worked great. If you do it just right you won't even see the piece of patch. I would remove it and replace it from time to time to avoid any possibility of rusting.
