[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1679328, member: 2736"] How about approaching this Subject from another angle. This wont help some that have never assembled a rifle but the common sense part may. Good Gunsmiths will know what I am talking about because they have experienced it. There are indicators of a good blueprint/truing. When all surfaces are square and true, thread fit is as good as possible in action and barrel, when torquing the barrel in the receiver, it makes up quickly (Very little rotation). If the fit is poor, it rotates many more degrees because everything is trying to align and flex to make up. This also places unwanted stress on parts that would not be present if everything fit properly. Every stress you can eliminate can only improve the accuracy and function of the rifle. Less stress, more consistency. So when an action or any other part is properly machined to be as stress free as possible under the pressure it is automatically more consistent and we all know what consistence means to accuracy. The goal of any good smith is to build in consistency and truing is part of that process. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
