Force matched - me no understand

[englishman_ca]

Where does the term 'force matched' come from???

Use force to fit something???? Or does it mean renumbered with or without fitting???

What exactly does it mean? Is it possible to force match something nicely?

To me, if I read that a rifle has something force matched, the thing is garbage.
Or is this the meaning of the expression? I have a forced matched bolt so my gun is a piece of schit.

Or do we make up our own terms now? eg. I have a 'relaxed fit' happy matched bolt in mine!!!

WTF???

Winston Churchill said that he would never beat a child unless it was for abuse of the english language.

Rant over. Happy Easter.
