[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1827471, member: 2736"] Receiver threads can also be out of square and not concentric with the bore centerline. After setting up to re cut bad threads single point. I have seen the first pass yield interesting results, the threads cut on one side when starting and move to the other side as i went farther in. They also normally cut more on one side than the other side using the bolt bore as the center to align everything including the action face and the recoil lug abutments. I use the bolt bore to true everything off of because it is a good starting point and when finished everything is true and square to the bolt and the bore, including the threads. J E CUSTOM Yes, I use the practice. But no, I haven't seen a rifle go from a 1/4 moa to a 1/10th moa by making that one change. Mainly because I start with correcting the threads and true everything else in the process of blueprinting an action. I will say this Though, All of my 1/10th MOA rifles/pistols have had this level of truing done to them so it must help as one of the components of blueprinting. There is no one magic thing that assures accuracy. There are many things that make accuracy possible and thread trueness is just one of them. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
