hey guys im new to this site and I was just wondering if anyone has blueprinted a ruger #1 action and what were the steps you took
 
Took one apart after a 270 round was put in it .... sadly, it was a 7mag. Needed some repairs, but never thought about truing it up. Threaded and added a brake. Nice to shoot.
Great question and hope someone with experience will reply.
 
I found one side happened to be true to the block mortise. And the front face was dead on too. 3 deg I think. Using those as references, I thread milled to correct the 3/4 deg down angle on the thread. Took it all the way out to 1-1/16 to clean up.

I have a picture somewhere of a mandrel threaded into the original thread. Clear by eyeball it was way crooked.

The hanger was cut off prior, and replaced with barrel mounted lugs.

I missed on my guess of where centerline was in relation to the lever pin by a little. So the primers are hit a little off center.
