[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1624780, member: 13632"] IMO work holding and set up tooling is critical to an excellent truing job, I don't think anything should be bases of the threads for set up, their function is to tighten a tenon to a shoulder, I've seen record holding 1000 yard BR guns with threads that are total wreckage, tight threads create more problems than loose ones also!! The goal of a truing job is to hold the action stress free, find the center line of a warped action, square the surfaces the bolt and barrel seat on the action then take a crooked bolt and put it in the middle of that warped action under pressure. There is some influence from the firing pin, spring and how they are guided but that's another job. The barrel work takes care of the vast majority of the rest of it! [/QUOTE]
