Remington 700 truing preference

[jdscada]

Hello everyone, wanting to get some opinions from everyone. I plan on truing a few remington actions, and I'm on the ropes on which way to go. I was looking into purchasing GTR remington mandrel with bushings or Manson's Mandrel with tapered bushings so I can true these actions in my lathe, however, I saw that PTG has a Receiver blueprint reamer for truing face and tapped mandrel that can clean up threads without having to single point threads. What are your thoughts? Thanks for any input.

Run this in the "search" upper right hand corner. You will find a lot of info and may possibly come away with "still not decided".
Give it a try

yeah this has been discussed here for sure. For me id like to true a few of my own actions only sometime. I will just turn my own mandrel for the actions i do. Not gonna spend for the tooling for a few actions and i think i can make the mandrels to fit each action. For me I think a tap will always follow the existing threads to a point even when attempting to hold it in alignment and i dont think will correct the threads as well as single pointing. just my 2 cents
