[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1678904, member: 3728"] It is good for a gunsmith not to be able to be blamed for anything, thus truing eliminates a variable. People live in fear. It is a BIG deal for gunsmiths to go along with the talking heads and be current on "correct" thinking of the time if he wants to pay his bills at the end of the month. Having said this, the quality of the barrel, and the quality of the workmanship goes a long way. If a barrel is indicated in by the gunsmith to the .0001-.0002, the barrel bore is uniform from end to end, the barrel is scoped for inclusions, action is properly bedded in good stock, good glass, great trigger, the barrel shoot tiny, tiny groups. It is a given that the owner knows how to clean a rifle to keep the Carbon fouling out, and has dies that will seat bullets to within .002(. I realize this is a pipe dream). On my own guns, I square the front of the receiver, use custom recoil lug, lap the lugs, call it done...varmint and hunting rifles. If I were competing in PRS, I would shoot a Borden action. I would not hesitate to have JE Jones do my work, no hesitation....NONE! Cody, I am using your pictures as an demonstration on what happens to dry lugs. If the lugs are re cut, if you don't use lube, they will gaul once again This product is fantastic, even with stainless on stainless: [URL]https://www.ebay.com/itm/AeroShell-33MS-AR-Grease-Gunsmithing-Molybdenum-Disulfide/391739366871?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649[/URL] apply to lugs with a tooth pick, little goes a long way, also on cocking cams.
