Blueprinting virgin action

[Yustax]

I am in the processs of acquiring parts for a rifle build and I have a question about a virgin action that I bought.

Do they need to be blueprinted before installing it's first barrel? It's unused and unfired, so I am unsure if it needs to blueprinted

Thanks.

Hello Sir, I believe it depends on the rifle parts aquired, rifle barrel, stock inlet to correctly fit and line up etc. In my opinion which is not professional by any means I would have the action Blueprinted if Its a Remington action. If so I would recommend sending the action to Tac Ops Inc. Mike R and his team are amazing people, very sociable and professional. Treated myself and many others very well! He is one of the members on the forums here. I would give him a call too get accurate pricing on blueprinting and accurizing an action.

Just making sure. Didn't want you to blueprint an aftermarket action.

I would look at calling @LongRifles Inc. Another good idea is checking out this page.

Blueprinting, or "truing" is a machining process intended to improve the accuracy potential of a factory bolt action by forensically machining existing features to ensure they are square, parallel, and concentric. LRI pioneered the use of CNC Vertical Machining Centers to blueprint bolt action...

I also know Chad has posted a pdf before about what they do and why they do it. Can't find it. Have them send it to you.
