[QUOTE="Tangent, post: 1769888, member: 110477"] I'd be pretty skeptical of those factory 'trued' action. Truing/blueprinting means a lot of different things to a lot of different folks. But any gunsmith that I've used charges $200 - $300 to blueprint an action. Upgrading extractor is $150 - $250, timing & tig'ing bolt handle is ~$100, pinning recoil lug is $50 - $75, fluting bolt is $35, adding bolt knob is $75 - $100, side bolt release is $100 range, coating the receiver & bolt will be $200 range, upsize base threads is $80, etc. etc. etc. I get you don't need everything on that list, but those are the comparative differences to most custom actions. Also, if you factor in the cost of a action and then just add a few things on that list, you're at the cost of a lot of these new custom actions. I've been down the rabbit hole of re-working an R700 action, and I've also bought pretty expensive custom actions. I just think we have better options now than either of those routes I've taken in the past. [/QUOTE]
