[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1083321, member: 1290"] Nicely done. The indicator is a coaxial indicator. When I used to open lugs I found a 4 jaw in the lathe worked really well. I just dialed in the hole and bored away with a very sharp small boring bar. Later on I found that if the action is only trued enough to get a 100% cleanup we are only going .003" or .004" at most oversize. I still just cut the tennon diameter to the 1.0625" or as tight as I can still slip fit the lug and cut the threads till it fits the action. I don't like the threads pointed up anyway so I can get a super tight fit on the action threads without starting with an oversized tennon. The point is there is no real need to open up a lug unless you are radically opening it up for say much larger action. [/QUOTE]
