I admit it, I'm confused,

[Son]

At the risk of being first to offer help here... I always refer to the metal bump on the bottom of the receiver that serves to impart recoil into the foreend as the sear lugs. The sear and magazine catch are pivoted from there, so for descriptive purposes I always found that to be easiest to understand.
The draws (a term I don't really like because it seems so abstract) I use to refer to the inside area of the foreend between where the sear lugs contact and the front of the butt socket.
The copper plates fitted to coachwood foreends are called, by the parts book "PLATE, copper, 2 of. For recoil lug bearing" ... copper recoil plates? probably the most accurate translation.
The plate at the rear of the foreend is the tie plate.


just re-reading this... if the copper plates are "for recoil lug bearing" then by extension, what I have called the sear lugs are being referred to as the recoil lugs.. yes?
