[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 407952, member: 2736"] I may be predigest because I use a lot of these actions and find them to be fantastic donor actions for custom builds. First the bolt face is correct for your build. Next the triggers are very good and with few exceptions can be tuned/adjusted to work very well and if you are not satisfied with the factory trigger Timney makes a very good replacement that is fully adjustable. As for blue printing the action it is very easy and most of the time not nessary because of the way the locking lugs are made and the quality of the machining (Squaring the reciever face and lapping the lugs is the only thing I normally do automatically the rest depends on how precision the machining was done. All of this work can be done by a component gunsmith with excellent results. So if you have a chance to get a Mark 5 as a don er for a custom build 'DO IT'. The only thing that should be done is to mill the bolt stop groove longer to get the most travel out of the bolt. When done correctly the Mark 5 based customs are extremely accurate and good looking. Good luck J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
