[QUOTE="Bob2650, post: 1929134, member: 112280"] With all machined items, even the top custom rifles, everything is crooked. Nothing is flat, straight or parallel. May seem perfect but that is only because you are limited in the ability to measure. Lapping and bedding does help. I retired as the head of a quality control department over a large machine shop. Skilled machinists with good equipment, temperature controlled environment and an unlimited tooling budget can make things to plus or minus a thousandth of an inch but it is a big deal and and there will be plenty of rejects. Trying to machine things to a tenth is extremely frustrating and expensive due to the time involved and high percentage of rejects. Machining to a tenth is easy but picking the tenth and hitting it is extremely difficult. Lapping and bedding is the accepted way to take care of those machining inaccuracies. [/QUOTE]
