[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2651531, member: 68758"] I'm a riflesmith- I understand the processes, thanks. I wasn't telling him not to have the smith that rebarrels it taking a look at it and evaluate it- I was simply saying that IMO, it's a waste of $$ to spend a grand on a new action when he didn't have any obvious issues with his M700. I consider facing the receiver ring to be part of the barrel fitting process, and I include it in the price. Once that's done, I use a thread alignment gage (shop made) to check concentricity. Most of the time, they're not "out" enough to justify the cost of recutting the threads- esp for a hunting rifle, and that's as far as it goes. [/QUOTE]
