[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1342823, member: 5219"] I believe the barrel is threaded and headspaced after the receiver has been trued. I believe lugs could be lapped for more even contact with the receiver without causing much headspace change but to do the other operations would change headspace. IMO I do not see a need for blueprinting a factory rifle if it is to be used for hunting. I have owned many rifles and never once blue printed, lapped lugs etc and they shot fine. Now if a guy were to go into LR competition then it might help. But frankly I would be buying a custom receiver like a Bat rather than try to improve upon a factory receiver. CNC machining can hold some tight tolerances and today's factory actions are made that way. There is the possibility that the gunsmith could make a mistake in attempting to blueprint making it worse. I know as I saw it once on a custom rifle. I actually had one gunsmith tell me that it is what the customer expects as part of the build of a custom rifle so he does it even if it won't make a difference in accuracy. Let the flames begin.....
