[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 801777, member: 2736"] I hear what some are saying and have to comment for those that are willing to listen. One bit of advice to the NON GUNSMITHS. Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see, Unless it is from a well known Gun Smith. IF the bolt lugs and the bolt face are not square One will throw the other off during firing. So if you have a square bolt face and the recoil lugs are not in 100 % engagement, when the rifle fires, the bolt will thrust back and the un-squared receiver lugs will cant the bolt face to the Chamber, Deforming the brass and effecting the accuracy. The bolt face is held in place by a pin and a flex washer allowing the bolt face to recoil back against the recoil surfaces of the receiver. If it is not square to the bore and the bolt lugs are not square to the bolt face you will have a misalignment problem. One symptom of this is that a fired case may not want to chamber unless it is in the same orientation as when it was fired. Savage did not design a floating head to avoid having to square the locking lugs, They did it to be able to build One bolt and fit different bolt faces to it. (One size fits all logic). So What others think or do is their business but I will always square everything on an action irregardless who makes it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
