Blueprinting and Accurizing

In the world of firearms, precision and reliability are paramount. Whether you’re a competitive shooter, a hunter, or simply an enthusiast, the accuracy and performance of your firearm can make all the difference. At Tundra-North Gunsmith, we specialize in blueprinting and accurizing, two advanced gunsmithing techniques that elevate the performance of your firearm to its highest potential.

Blueprinting, also known as action truing, is a meticulous process that involves bringing a firearm’s action to the design objectives of its original design. Over time, even the most finely manufactured firearms can develop slight deviations from their intended dimensions due to wear and tear. By blueprinting we ensure the barrel seating, chamber and bolt face are as perfectly aligned or perpendicular to the bore as possible, striving for sub .0005” in machining accuracy. These small inconsistencies can impact the firearm’s accuracy and reliability.

1. Disassembly and Inspection: The first step in blueprinting is to completely disassemble the firearm and thoroughly inspect each component. This inspection identifies any deviations or wear that may affect performance.
2. Machining the Action: Using precision machining tools, our gunsmiths true the action, ensuring that all surfaces are perfectly square and aligned. This involves machining the bolt face, lugs, and receiver to exact specifications, eliminating any inconsistencies.
3. Reassembly and Testing: After the action is trued, the firearm is reassembled with meticulous care. Each component is checked for proper fit and function. The final step involves testing the firearm to ensure that the blueprinting process has achieved the desired improvements in accuracy and reliability.

Accurizing is the process of fine-tuning a firearm to enhance its accuracy. While blueprinting focuses on the action, accurizing encompasses a range of modifications and adjustments designed to optimize the overall performance of the firearm.

1. Barrel Floating/Receiver Bedding: Proper floating and bedding the receiver ensures consistent harmonics and eliminates unwanted variability. This is achieved by creating a optimal fit between the barrel/receiver and the stock, often using a bedding compound and posts to secure the receiver in place.
2. Trigger Enhancement: A crisp, clean trigger pull is essential for accuracy. Our gunsmiths can polish trigger/sear and other action elements or replace the trigger with after-market units to achieve a lighter, smoother pull and crisper release, reducing the chances of disturbing the aim during firing.  Because of liability concerns we chose not to modify factory triggers to reduce trigger pull but have found that a number of companies that manufacture drop-ins that perform well above original systems.
3. Muzzle Crown Refinement: The crown of the barrel, where the bullet exits, plays a critical role in accuracy. Any imperfections can negatively affect the bullet’s trajectory. By refining the crown, we ensure a clean and uniform exit for the bullet, enhancing accuracy.
4. Stock Fit and Ergonomics: Ensuring that the stock fits the shooter properly is vital for consistent accuracy. Our gunsmiths can modify the stock to improve fit and ergonomics, providing a more comfortable and stable shooting experience.
5. Optics and Mounting: Properly mounting and aligning optics is crucial for precision shooting. We ensure that scopes and sights are securely mounted and perfectly aligned with the barrel for optimal accuracy.
