[QUOTE="jeffreykooken, post: 942291, member: 32952"] The gunsmith removes the barrel, and machines the front face of the action true and square to the threads. He will also machine the bolt face true and square to the action, and the barrel will be set back a few thousandths and squared. Bolt lugs get lapped for even lock up. All this results in a precision fit up of the three main rifle componants: Action/ barrel/ bolt. It should only be done once. This kind of work takes an experienced gunsmith-machinist, but is suprisingly cheap to have done. If you have a decent barrel to start with, this and a good crown can make a big difference in groups.
