[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1829328, member: 13632"] If I'm wanting a tight bolt I would buy a custom action like a Borden or BAT, I've played just enough with sleeving to know where it fits in my process. I have yet to see a reamed action bore that is perfect, usually they have a flair till it's gotten supported then the tang usually pushes up just a little since it's loaded on one side so I can't charge for raceway work that really isn't much better. Honing the raceway like Chad Dixon or another very specialized tool are about the only way to perfectly size the whole bore of an action. I've found the replacement bolts need work, you have to make sure all PTG bolts are bored on center, the size you actually ordered and then fit them, take all the sharp edges of and finish, I'd rather work with the original bolt till it becomes a charity project and then a quality custom action should be used.
