Gunsmithing New MATEN, accurize?

[sentry1]

I will, in the nearish future, have a MATEN receiver arriving. I want to build it into a 6.5 Creedmoor gun for long range shooting (200-500 yds is what I'll usually have available to me, 1000 yds infrequently).

Aside from a quality barrel, and Geissele trigger, what can I do to make the gun as accurate as it can be? Can an AR receiver be 'trued'?

I want to ensure that I'm the only bottleneck in the guns performance.

The MATEN does not need anyting done to the upper, trued or otherwise.

good chamber job done with the actual bolt from the rifle being used to headspace the chamber. Then make sure everything is assembled properly torque wise and make sure everything fits up tight.
