I have two Remington 700s that had the actions trued when barrelled. I'm thinking about putting new barrels on both and was wondering does the action need to be trued again or is it a one time deal? Any issues I need to be aware of moving forward?
Thanks,
Don

I've never had one re-trued. The only thing I could ever see getting out of wack would be if you ever galled the lugs or were shooting really heavy loads that caused some sort of setback. The only thing I will have done when I re-barrel a couple of mine is have the bolts re-timed because it was not done when they were originally trued since "trued" is a term used to cover just the basics all the way to a full blue-print. That lack of primary extraction has never caused me a problem per se but I don't see a reason not to have it done knowing that it can be easily fixed.

Thanks. Sounds like I can save a few $$s.

Be sure to tell the gunsmith the receiver has been previously trued so they can cut the threads to the proper size.

Be sure to tell the gunsmith the receiver has been previously trued so they can cut the threads to the proper size. I have all that info plus reamer used engraved on the barrel shank at the 6 o'clock where it can't be seen unless you pull it. I think it's most important if you cut threads over by .010" or more but feel anybody who should be putting a barrel on could figure out that the action is trued and take appropriate measurements. A Rem action that isn't trued looks like the receiver face was cut with a chop saw because it was and a trued face looks smooth and clean. Dudes like Chad at LRI are going to re-true if your threads aren't what he uses because it's easier for him when it comes to programming. |
