[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 2888974, member: 93138"] If hobbiest is the level that you're working at, have a look at the tools made to square and true the action w/o needing a smith. I went down this particular rabbit hole with Savage tools mostly purchased from PTG. Tool to square the receiver face to the threads, square the lug abutments to the receiver face, tool to lap the lugs to the lug abutments, etc. Maybe the result isn't quite as good as having a specialist do all of that work, but I was able to do it in my own shop for just the cost of the tools and now I've got two more projects waiting on me to have the time to process those actions.
