[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 528216, member: 2736"] If you are serious about accuracy and thinking about taking it to a smith any way this is what I recommend. As stated Lapping the lugs can only increase the head space and should not be done by it's self. Also lapping the barrel will normally be done with the barrel off the action and it will have to be shortened to clean up both ends (Chamber and crown will be slightly worn from lapping). The chambers are allways large and most of the time not concentric on factory barrels so If you have the smith set the shoulder back and re cut and head space the chamber (After lapping the bolt lugs) it will true every thing up.Have him remove only enough to clean up the chamber (the most I Normally remove is 1 turn/thread) Saving the barrel is worth the try. Also while the smith has it, truing the reciever face and recoil lug would be good. This should not cost near as much as a rebarrel job. Good luck J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
