[QUOTE="birdiemc, post: 1780580, member: 29632"] Doing it the way Shortgrass outlines makes much more sense because you are taking actual measurements from your actual components and setting the distance from the bolt to the barrel, the way referenced in that article is just a generic catch all method, but what shortgrass outlines is in line with Hinnant's book recommending .005 gap. I'm sure many have done it the way referenced in that linked article but I figure if I'm going through all the trouble of trying to learn to do this myself I should do it the best and most accurately as I can. Lots of comments from lots of Smith's lead me to believe that it probably doesnt make a whole lot of difference, but then again I just read a comment from JE Custom where he spoke about tightening up the tolerances has resulted in more accurate rifles. Under. 010 group sizes...and I think it's pretty well accepted around here that he is somebody worth listening to. [/QUOTE]
