[QUOTE="moombaskier, post: 1035944, member: 7841"] You can lap the lugs. Color the backside of your bolts lugs with a perm marker. Chamber a fired brass from your rifle and check the lugs to see if the wear is even. I use 400 grit valve lapping compound on the lug that has the most wear, chamber that brass and work the action 10 times. Continue checking until you have as close to even contact on each lug. Be very careful that you don't remove more than .001-.002 material...as you can alter the headspace. There are lots of videos on "lapping lugs". I have only done this on factory Remmington rifles, and it has helped!! [/QUOTE]
