[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 2029004, member: 65116"] When someone ask me to look at their rifle (I am an amateur gun mechanic) First thing I do is swab out the bore, check the headspace, see if the barrel is free floating, remove all the screws (stock to action, scope bases and rings) I look it all over, anti-seize on all the screws and torque. I find a lot of loose screws and even came across one rifle recently where the GO gauge would not go in (owner says he uses commercial ammo and has no trouble closing the bolt (his rifle!) He must have strong hands! Have had no problems with recoil lugs, but I have only seen maybe a dozen rifles (its a hobby and I work for free). Don't want any slack in a rifle. [/QUOTE]
