Gunsmithing action truing

[newby]

just wondering i realise that truing a standard factory remmy action is the norm to squezze out the accuracy but, I was wondering if you took say a surgeon action and a shilen barrel, would there be any machining in this or would it just be a Q of mating barrel and action and headspacing?

Almost any custom action should come true. There SHOULD be nothing to worry about.

Well mistakes do happen. Its just the way it is when you do anything in a production shop.

ture enough so in theory mate a quality barrel to a quality action, and all you should have to worry about is headspacing
