[QUOTE="specweldtom, post: 706635, member: 2580"] He'll need to square the receiver face also. Squaring the bolt face can't hurt if it's done right. I don't normally do it unless I'm opening the face and installing a M-16 extractor. Absolutely lap the lugs. Remington 700's regularly have light or no contact on the bottom locking lug. If the recoil lug mikes flat, I use it. Otherwise I'll put in a .200" thick lug. Brownell's has them, but I don't remember who makes them. I don't like the .250" or thicker lugs. They make the tenon (reduced diameter) longer. The Remington trigger can be adjusted to a nice crisp break, but nothing I've used is cleaner than a Jewell. If you've got a spare $230 or so, it's a good investment. I know some guys like to install an aftermarket firing pin assembly, but the Remington pin assy works fine for me. One last bit of advice. Choose a 'smith that has a lot of references, has a lot of tackdrivers to his credit, doesn't ask for the full build price in advance, and delivers when or before he promises. That'll come up in his references. A deposit is normal, but should be about 1/2 the build price unless he furnishes everything. Good luck with your project. The .270 WSM is a fine cartridge.
