    Gunsmithing Blueprinting highlights.

    Re: Blueprinting highlights. Makes sense to me, the question was more theoretical. The lever arm of your parallel raceway jig basically amplifies the error resolution. The amount of cant is much smaller at the lug and within the range of the space afforded by taping the lug. To indicate off...
