[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1641306, member: 78056"] I haven't read thru this entire thread so forgive me for any possible ignorance, but... if your action is stainless, it's not a scuff mark, it's galling and will only get worse. I would touch it up with something very fine so as to not change the lug contact but it has to be smooth, preferrably on both sides or the surfaces will just become gritty over time. If it's carbon steel, don't worry about it unless you can feel it when closing the bolt. Carbon steel wears, stainless usually galls instead. Google stainless galling, it will scare the pants off ya! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
