[QUOTE="jrock, post: 2580388, member: 78569"] I chamber through the bore on my lathe and dial in on the bore. I place the curve up, as most do, with a test indicator at the muzzle. I then I use an indicator on the OD of the barrel breach to mark as fine a line as I can with a small sharpie. I use a similar method on the action to find TDC to help line then up. I think another question to add to the original question is how short of lining up the marks do you set the tenon shoulder in the lathe prior to taking it and torqueing to spec? Part b) same question with or without the use of anti-seize. Maybe part c) how much anti-seize to use? [/QUOTE]
