[QUOTE="Rockfish Dave, post: 1067377, member: 14257"] Speaking from personal experience Salt Bath Nitriding makes a good action great. I would recommend lapping the lugs before sending it off though. I bought a Surgeon 1086R, Lapped the lugs using the medium and fine grit. Cleaned it thoroughly (Sonic Cleaner) and then had it treated. The end result is an action with field friendly tolerances that feels like it on ball bearings, stays clean (no lube) and shoots great. Cleaning the action is a little bit of a pain. I sprayed the action down with Kroil and let it sit for a few days before cleaning the residual salts off, and even still had to use drill bits by hand to clean out all the pin holes. All said, I feel it was well worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
