[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1017520, member: 1290"] I can't imagine putting a prethreaded / chambered barrel on a trued action. A precision fitted premium barrel is the heart of an accurate rifle. Far more important than a trued action is getting the barrel threads aligned to the bore and custom fitted to the action for the tightest fit you can to help the action and barrel become one. Then the chamber needs cut so that the throat and chamber are in line with the actual curve in the bore rather than just launching bullets into the side of the bore. When a barrel maker premachines a barrel they just jam it in a collet and hit the button. Nothing custom fit precise about it. After blueprinting an action the threads are going to be even looser. This will be much more of a production rifle loosened up and assembled at home. [/QUOTE]
