[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 121677, member: 10"] We could write a book explaining what goes into these steps but you have gotten the general idea. Basically the point is to make a receiver as square and true to the axial alignment of the receiver as possible. Think of the receiver as a foundation for a house. If the foundation is square and true from the start, the rest of the house goes up very easily and also true and square. If the foundation is off then it just gets worse and the house is build. Same with rifles, The receiver is your foundation so to speak. If it is as square as possible the rest of the rifle will fallow suit with good machining and bedding. If it is not, the problems will be magnified down range. Generally, the larger the round the rifle is chambered for, the more perfect you need the rifle to get accurate results. If you find gunsmiths that are building highly consistant and accurate large, hi intensity rifles, they know what they are doing when they set up a receiver to build on. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
