When does one decide a case has to be align bored? I have a GC case that I am getting ready to take to the shop to check for register collapse but have no idea what the criteria might be to consider align boring.
Thanks in advance! |

Decking a case requires a fixture to hold the case. Any decent machine shop that has made this fixture should have also matched this fixture to their mill by milling the fixture bearing surface in place on that mill. Once matched you are good unless the mill is badly worn.
Assuming the mill is set up well, which real machine shops will do, a properly made fixture will do the job right. This is a basic machine shop service and assuming you are using a real machine shop it shouldn't something to be overly concerned about. Yes it is important, but it is not a tricky procedure. Now, Align boring is something to be cautious about. |
