[QUOTE="Damascus, post: 949206, member: 57878"] I've had several Howa 1500's and Vanguard rifles brought to me by customers for accurizing work, so what exactly are you worried about? There's a lack of aftermarket parts out there (compared to the 700), as well as less available tooling - so when I blueprint a 1500, I can't go as thorough as I could with a 700 (ie- squaring lug faces, reaming inside threads, etc), basically all I do to 1500 actions is square up the receiver face, face the bolt, and lap the bolt lugs. I also check to make sure the flat rear portion of the integral recoil lug is square with the action. The trigger design on these aren't the best out there, but with a little careful stoning/polishing, fine tuning, and perhaps reduced power springs, a decently crisp 2.5 lb. trigger is quite easy to obtain. I personally have no qualms about building or customizing one of these actions. What do you have in mind for this rifle? [/QUOTE]
