edgecrusher Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm interested and curious, what exactly do you mean by blueprinted for accuracy? I've never heard of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfoxwell Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I'm interested and curious, what exactly do you mean by blueprinted for accuracy? I've never heard of this. Basically checking concentricity of the receiver and barrel and squaring the face of the receiver where the barrel seats. Also fitting oversized "match" pins.

98Z5V Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Basically checking concentricity of the receiver and barrel and squaring the face of the receiver where the barrel seats. Also fitting oversized "match" pins. Interesting - never seen the tool to do this, though it exists for the 5.56 rifles... Basically, your upper has been lapped.

Matt.Cross Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Interesting - never seen the tool to do this, though it exists for the 5.56 rifles... Basically, your upper has been lapped. Right, and possibly the barrel extension squared to the bore as well, depending on how thorough/OCD your gunsmith is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfoxwell Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Right, and possibly the barrel extension squared to the bore as well, depending on how thorough/OCD your gunsmith is.... I checked the barrel extensions on the Lothar barrels and they were within a few tenths. Interesting - never seen the tool to do this, though it exists for the 5.56 rifles... Basically, your upper has been lapped. Had to make the tool. I use it to check concentricity at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
