[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1456963, member: 2736"] Spot on !!! You will never hear me talk bad about any action because of just what you said. All actions are not created equal and some are near perfect and others are not. custom actions are no different in the fact that they can have one that fell through the cracks and needs some attention. That Is the reason i believe in checking "ALL" actions before the build starts. Of all the barrels I have used, I only have one that has never had a rejection. Of the others, some have more than others but have been good barrels as long as they were checked and rejected. Most of the barrel makers were happy to exchange there barrels with no cost to me. Others were not so friendly and they are not on my buy list because of there customer relations. I have not found an action I couldn't save, so checking and truing not only saved the action, in many cases they performed exemplary. I was taught that If you cant say something good about someone, don,t say anything. I have better luck with certain actions than others but that doesn't mean that all the other actions are bad, just that I have found actions that have consistently better machining tolerances. (at least On the ones that I have worked on) other builders have found other actions that they prefer because if they buy 50 actions and find only one that is poor, they are happy, If I buy 50 of the same actions the number of rejections may differ. I may find 5 that are less than they should be OR none. (The luck of the draw). If a person finds/has a barrel or action that does not perform, there could be many reasons why that realy have nothing to do with the quality of the barrel or action. I don't expect to find every barrel or action perfect so i recommend checking everyone of them. No one is perfect 100% of the time. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
