[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 452394, member: 26019"] Hello asa. Tolerances are a manufacturing standard meaning the part will be between a minimum and a maximum. Tolerances in proprietary manufacturing are not universal, unless there is a standard it needs to apply to. It is the same thing as trying to apply Chevrolet engine clearances to a Ford or both to a Hamilton Beach blender. Correct right on the money tolerances are aimed at everything from interference fit to sloppy rattle around. Way too often parts that are within tolerances wont even fit together to make an assembly. Blue printing an action is all about putting those tolerances together in a way that yields results. It is also the difference between a good machineist and a real gunsmith. I have seen only 2 custom name actions go back to the manufacturer and have yet to see anything more than a mumbly gripe from people that got an honest what they paid for-- well except for the jerks, but they're another common story that everybody gets to deal with.
