My original post is irrelevant. I thought he was asking about truing the action face because I cant read.
I use a collet chuck to cut the face and the rear of the lugs.
How is or what setup is used to true a Savage bolt face. is just the bolt face set up in a fixture,lathe etc. or is it done with a mandrel and fixture mounted in the reciever threads etc. ????
Thanks Harold

Hopefully sharpshooter will chime in on this.
There isn't much involved or needs to be done. I chuck and indicate on the shaft then take a "light" cut across the face just enough to remove any dishing and or any chamfer on the edge of the firing pin hole. change to a right hand bit and square the junction between the shaft and lugs for clearance to relocate the baffle washer between the baffle and lugs.
On occasion I'll check if the lugs are square to the shaft but usually its waste of time.

Each morning eat a live green toad, it will be the worst thing you'll have face all day.
Bill,
What benefit do you get out of relocating the baffle washer?? I have never tried this, nor have I heard of it before. News to me, but very interested. Thanks!!
