[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1142344, member: 90399"] Hey Mike, did you just have the face of the receiver squared for the new barrel install? Or have the action trued? Did your smith happen to tell you how out of square your receiver face was? I was reading on another forum and a person mentioned that he has trued many 700 actions and he was surprised to see when he did the 783 it was more square from the factory than any 700 he has done. I kind of have a hard time believing that. Although I did hear these are produced in a newer factory so possibly they are using newer machinery with better tolerances. Im about to order a couple barrels from NSS. I talked with Jim yesterday (super nice guy). He is trying hard to talk me into a new recoil lug and barrel nut also. But for a couple budget built rifles, I'm just not sure if it will be worth it? Sounds like you got NSS's lug and nut. Do you mind if I ask the cost to have the receiver squared and drilled for the set screw? Thanks, I really appreciate any feedback. One last question I have to ask... Did you get a scope on yours yet and shoot it? :D [/QUOTE]
