[QUOTE="antelopedundee, post: 1994698, member: 107384"] I would say that that smith didn't understand the meaning of the term that he was using. Be it car engines, firearms or garden trowels, blueprinting refers specifically to machining an object to the dimensions of its original or working blueprint. Other actions to correct defects or tighten tolerances are better described as truing or tuning. People use there and their and your and you're interchangeably too, but we know that those don't mean the same. My last project with a smith was to true as or if needed. Going with a custom action, one is less likely to have to need to do much of anything. I suppose that it depends upon how good that your starting base is. I've read in a few places that the current crop of Rem 700 actions were/are pretty dang good right out of the box. I have 3 of the RR serial # actions and I don't think there was an issue with any of them; at least I wasn't told that there was. Funny that with the kind of CNC machining available that Remington never could or would make a bolt where the locking lugs had proper full contact or that it was mostly dumb luck if they did.
