[QUOTE="eddybo, post: 452612, member: 7194"] I am just a hobby smith, but I am not convinced of the benefits of a complete true job. I have been told many times that if it is a good barrel with good bedding and consistant fire control, it will shoot. Even not being fully convinced of the benefits, I do not think it will hurt a thing to do it. So, I make sure the barrel shoulder is true to the chamber, surface grind a factory recoil lug, use a PTG kit with tight fitting bushings to true the front of the lugs and action face and recut the threads to .010 over, I true the lugs in the lathe and lap them in, and then true the bolt face using a mandrel that screws into the action threads. It is just my opinion but If the boltface is true with the action face, the recoil lug is square, and the chamber is true with the shoulder then nothing else needs be done. [/QUOTE]
