Blueprinting ?

[Matone]

Could someone tell me what the term `blueprinting` refers to re actions.A blueprint is a drawn plan to my knowledge,so what`s that got to do with accurising an action ?

Thanks.

Machining the action to the blueprint specification and thereby correcting the larger tolerances that factory rifles are manufactured to.

Worth it as I'm having it done

Great vids on YouTube but personally, unless you are doing the work yourself, I can't see the point in doing all that work on a Remington 700. I dread to think what it would cost! Then, if you ever come to sell it - it's just a Remmy!

 

Of course, there's blueprinting and blueprinting - the YouTube guy does the lot but how many 'smiths would simply skim the lugs, bolt and action face and claim he'd blueprinted it?

 

IMHO much better to buy a custom action in the first place - it will be no more expensive and hold it's value.
