[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1888059, member: 38048"] In my mind if you put a 702 mandrel in an action that has 702 on one end and 7025 on the other and it doesn't have play then there is got to be a warpage or high spot in the race way to make it snug. With a proper bushing at each end the mandrel goes down the center. The bolt typically is 697 to 698 so there is 4 to 5 thou clearence. If I true up as close to the center of the race that I can the bolt has so much play it will find center. My actions trued this way measure . 0001 to . 0002. I just don't think a one dia mandrel will fit perfect in an action that never has the same diameter at both ends. Most remingtons are . 001 bigger in the rear. I know that's not much but when I use a bushing slightly to small my mandrel has play that I can't dial out. That's why I have bushings in . 0001 increments to use the perfect one. I'm not telling you to do it differently I just fail to see how a one diameter mandrel works. Shep [/QUOTE]
