[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1789416, member: 2736"] Both ! The reason we want very good fitting threads is to prevent the action from being able to thrust perpindicular to the bore. The Action face and the barrel shoulder will keep the bore center line true to the action center line but with the action threads allowing the bore misalignment to the bolt it can cause the round to be held slightly off center and fire form the case off center. So we make threads that fit with little or no slack and this way everything lines up as machined, (True). I want to have no slack and have to use a thread lubricant to prevent any gadding and also let the receiver help support the chamber and barrel tenon. There is no reason to true an action and then make sloppy threads and allow misalignment. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
