If you square the face of the bolt, the face of the action, action threads, square the lugs, what else is there? At least for a basic squaring.
I never made any statements about Stillers being true (and neither did my smith), other than the fact that they cost $1100, and the average user would assume for that premium price, they WOULD be true.
Hey, if you guys want to besmirch my friend because you feel the need to correct me and him that clearly explained what he meant, go ahead... The post was rude and not necessary.
Again I am not picking on you or you gunsmith , you put the statement out here. Either you or your gunsmith should not ASSUME they are true. there are a lot of people who seem to think more $$$$ means they are better , not exactly true. they are better. I think 100$ is to the really low side but if they are just facing square its o.k. .... first you would need to straighten receiver bore then face receiver square and lug abutments and single point rethread receiver , on to bolt check crooked threads and firing pin hole for center and see if firing pin assem is rubbing and free and if bolt body is straight . then firing pin see how crooked it is. I will not go into fixes for the above its to time consuming and would raise more questions . I can inspect an action in about an hour so how much work is being done for 100$......if I recall you said "my gunsmith said that for 1/2 price they end up being equally straight considering a Stiller SHOULD NOT need trueing......
