[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 453462, member: 2736"] To add to this thread: I have a habit of inspecting an action before anything is decided or work starts because some actions do not need a full blown blue printing performed on them and if it is not nessary don't spend the time and the customers money. I do find that "most" actions need to be squared at the face. lots need lugs trued and lapped. some bolt lugs that are almost 100% only need lapping. almost all bolt faces need to be trued/squared.Receivers that need to be reamed for a better bolt fit or new bolt are fewer still. So I disassemble all actions and inspect for this reason. I have found very few actions that could not be improved in some way including the custom actions. So I don't assume it is good until I inspect it. Some of this precision may not be nessary but when all of the components are as precise as possible and all other components are done correctly(Stock fit,pillar bedding,floating and load development )the rifles are very forgiving and will shoot well beyond most shooters abilities.(At least mine).
