[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1936224, member: 2736"] Thanks. Many people don't understand what goes into a TRUE blueprinting/truing and I just thought this would clear up some of the questions. This is also only half of the job, the receiver is just as important and is the foundation for the bolt work, and must be done with the same care. Many people say just buy a custom action and save the cost of blueprinting, In general, they are/should be better dimensionaly But many are not. Being true has to be proven because the customs are machined the same way and with the same human mistakes in programming and quality control. Normally the quality control acceptance is much better than factory actions, but having checked everyone of the custom actions I have dealt with many were not perfect and needed some tweaking is certain areas. The other reason for showing the Video is to help people understand what is involved and that they may not be getting a true blueprinting from some smiths. I have worked on many rifles that the owner was told that there smith had blueprinted the action, and after the barrel was removed they were shocked to find out that it had not been done or was only corrected in one or two areas. These were documented with pictures and videos and presented to the owner before any work could start. Absolute quality is/should be the goal of any good Gunsmith and is/should be continuous for his career. Many forget this and stop trying and unfortunately ruin their reputation in the end.
