[QUOTE="PEI Rob, post: 322086, member: 3405"] This upsets some people but here goes. The trigger catches the sear and that causes the bolt body to lift up against the action. Because the bolt body is forced up against the action, the bolt is not PERFECTLY aligned with the action, this translates into the lugs being on a very slight angle to each other. This is the condition people notice wear or what the see when they check lug contact. However, when the striker is released, the bolt body falls back down. The lugs are now in a different contact arrangement. If you have 30% contact I suggest you leave it alone, it cannot be perfect so long as the bolt body moves around and 30% is fairly good for a non trued or custom action. Installing a custom barrel is the big one, but the little stuff is nice to do if you can. best of luck, Rob [/QUOTE]
