[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2235057, member: 93138"] Right now I'm working with a combo of action and rail where, per my Test Indicator, the flat top of the rail slopes .015" down to the right (within the width of the rails' top flat) relative to the bolt raceways in the action. It is bad enough that you can see it with bare, naked eyeballs. Even mine. I am inclined to believe that the action is more at fault than the rail is. I made a plate similar to one suggestion in this thread that lays on the bolt raceways. I surface ground both sides of the plate so I'm reasonably sure that they are flat and parallel enough within what is needed for this effort. It has two bolts that reach down to a purpose made V-block and that assembly clamps the action in place for mill operations. I can likely duplicate this plate for the OP, less the useless to him bolt holes, if that is determined to be desired. Have yet to decide on my own corrective course of action. There's a part of me that wants to put the action on a mandrel and machine it truly round. At least in the zone where the rail makes contact with it. If only my rotary table had a tail-stock......
