First Remington 700 build. Do nothing at all, true the face or full blueprint?

I have not sleeved one yet,
thinking about it, planning ahead on it
wouldn't sleeving the whole body be the better way to go?

Depends on the condition of the raceway. On that stiller bolt I shared, those sleeves/bushings got polished to be oval by about a half thou, to have some more clearance when operating it, and a little tighter when in lockup.

The point is; we were picking ONE thing to do. Not what things are easy. And sometimes getting the lugs right doesn't need a lathe

Some valve lapping compound and about 2 minutes. Still not completely convinced the groups would shrink. Probably. But no one has actually bothered to prove it.

Yep, then follow that up with some Flitz, to polish both surfaces to each other
and smooth as a custom

Sneaky

Many 700's with only one lug contacting have been corrected and shoot less flyers with higher pressure loads.

So, within sleeving bolts, I have seen it done by epoxy the split bushing to the bolt
and Silver Solder/ etc the bushing to the bolt
---
have you tried both methods or is there any reason why you would recommend NOT epoxying a bolt bushing
(As more of a welder, I am not a solder expert unless it is a PCB board with low temp solder
lol)
I can BRASS braze great, but silver solder always gives me problems
(I know, its the prep and cleanliness and the flux etc, but still
(I can Tig Alum fine, but not Silver Braze that well yet, never had the need to is why)
-
So I'm almost leaning toward epoxy
- If I had to Silver Braze I would rather simply TIG weld it on

You’ve supposedly got the skills and the tooling, why don’t you get on it instead of complaining that someone else’s needs to do it?

Go the simpler route and use Loctite Black Max.
