Some match rifles have a metal lug added to the rear of the receiver, and some get lugs at both front and rear.
The extra metal allows the action to be firmly fitted within its stock, some using bolts into the lugs that torque the action down. With a glass bedded action and lugs keeping stuff held in place, its one of many tricks to squeeze accuracy out for competition. Your rifle almost certainly is not lugged 
The Sage stocks are made to fit the standard M14 receiver. |

Quoted:
im looking at a sage ebr stock and it says not compatible with springfield lugged receiver. What exactly does this mean? i own a scout squad 18" and its in stock configuration besides a NM guide rod. Don't worry about it. You're good to go. You would know if you had a rear-lugged receiver.
ETA: There's a good deal on the EE for an EBR if you want black and don't mind paying with a MO. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_134/1382094_WTS_Black_Sage_EBR_Chassis.html |

The additional lugs add surface area to the glass bedding done on a match rifle so that the bedding will last longer between repairs under heavy duty.

I mean, you can get a complete M1A for the price of just a double lugged receiver. It depends on how much you shoot. Given that a (re)bedding job by a competant service rifle armorer will cost a few hundred dollars, all you have to do is figure out how often you want to pay that fee (and the down time without the rifle) versus the cost of the lugged reciever. For some guys who shoot a lot, the cost is worth it. For most shooters, especially the casual ones, it's not very cost effective. |

It's pretty much exclusively for long range service rifle legal M14's/M1A's. A properly built double lugged gun will win 1000yd matches at Camp Perry with the right shooter, but then again, so will a glass bedded rear-lug and maybe even a no-lug. Tony. |
