[QUOTE="AkleyFan, post: 2695507, member: 114323"] A few years ago I purchased 4 stripped Argentine Mauser actions from Sarco - each has a degree of lug setback. I have 3 semi-custom Mausers that I built myself that shoot 1/2 moa or better wearing McGowen and X-Caliber barrels - I did not pay any attention to lug setback when I screwed them together, but I assume there is some as they're all military actions. Does anyone here have experience correcting lug setback on these actions or able to recommend someone I can discuss this with? I've read D'Arcy Echols' posts and an article that describes the process including annealing the action to remove/relieve the hardening before the machining takes place then re-hardening afterwards. Doesn't sound like an inexpensive process, but I'm going to go down this rabbit hole. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
