[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2695552, member: 68758"] There's acceptable "wear", which shouldn't be more than .002- and actual setback which would indicate that the case hardening has been worn through. Lugs are lapped into acceptable contact, assuming your stripped actions came with their bolts apply some Dykem to the lug and abutment surfaces of each to see what you're starting with. If you're dealing with minor wear and can lap into acceptable contact with both lugs without needing to remove a lot of material you should be gtg. If you've got actual setback, lugs are lapped in as above- but you need to send out for heat treat as you stated. If a smith is going to do the work, he would true both the primary and secondary (receiver ring) torque shoulders as well, prior to heat treat.
