[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1191194, member: 30592"] BAT says HR and VR actions have .0025" clearance and their benchrest actions have .0015" clearance. I have an HR action. I don't have gauges to do a proper measuring job but with the gauges I have it appears to be right at the 2.5 spec. I wish I had a good way to turn the bolt slightly smaller. I'm going to rig something and reduce the diameter of the bolt about .0015" so I can coat it with something. Just from eyeballing the lugs and the lug raceways on my action, I think the lugs are also going to require a little work to accommodate a coating. Surgeon actions are made with consideration for Cerakote. I also have one of those. The bolt on a Surgeon action has a .005" step on it. It is a lot tighter when closed than when being cycled. The lugs and the lug raceway have enough clearance for a double layer of coating. [/QUOTE]
