[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1845689, member: 2736"] I guess I am lucky because I have never had a bolt lug gall. I have seen lugs that were very bad that needed to be leveled and squared to prevent this. when I blueprint an action after leveling and squaring, I polish both surfaces with 1200 or 1500 Garnet lapping compound. This makes the lugs very smooth and prevents galling. Neck sizing can help prevent this but high pressure loads and heavy bolt lift are the biggest reason that galling occurs. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
