A suspension lug arrangement for a store suitable for aerial deployment has an outer surface and includes at least one lug region including a lug disposed in a body of the store. The lug includes a base portion embedded within and joined to the body of the store and a head portion extending outward from the base portion to the outer surface of the store, the head portion including an outer surface aligned with an adjacent portion of the outer surface of the body. The at least one lug region further includes a well at least partially surrounding the lug, a compressible member disposed within the well, and a plug retained within the well and engaging the compressible member disposed therein.
