[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1377306, member: 2736"] [QUOTE= Someone thought that the floating bolt head would have more issues with dirt under the lugs and that just isn't the case because the floating bolt head always makes contact and wipes the lugs. One of the first things I do when blueprinting a Savage, Is to dissemble the bolt head and inspect the two surfaces because I have found brass shavings and carbon deposits bonded to one of these surfaces from firing pressures. These have to be removed before/during squaring because they cannot be removed buy the floating bolt head and the flex washer between the two holds the bolt head gap open during operation except when fired. this washer serves several functions but can also allow small foreign object to enter if present at the right time. This condition only has an effect on accuracy when it exist and is not dealt with. I have seen this many times (But not every time) and have been forced to check to see if the problem exist with every blueprinting of the Savage action. I have seen this same condition in chambers that were not properly cleaned and the foreign objects have to be removed to prevent marking the brass. Things that "Cant happen" seem to show themselves at the worst times, so a no stone unturned approach is necessary in my opinion in the search for accuracy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
