Ukraine war Bullshit.

this and much much more like it is why all the congress toads all all so Uke enraptured. Putin has paid them off in the past,as we know. doubt he's in the mood these days. so,their graft has to come from Ukraine,usually via our own MIC.
that is exactly right. what i was trying to get across about changes in attitudes is that in the 60s anti war was anti American. now it seems that many very pro American interest types are anti war. ie the wars of choice that we have been in since and including VN.
seems that legitimate nat'l interest is something most have come to understand is not starting wars all over to advance and enrich a social and political elite. our current real war with OBiden's 20 mil+ invaders is one we should be involved with. that really needs to be at the ww2 level of total commitment.

Finding a wife

"The LORD God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
- Genesis 2:18

"Plow Horse" husbands are a feature not a bug, human society is designed to keep most people busy and broke (ESPECIALLY men).

And guys let it happen to them.

My 70yr old mother has been nagging/crying/screaming at my 70yr old father to go back to work so they can have more disposable income. They have a nice house and property (which they don't need, they don't landscape it or do anything with it so it's mud and weeds) but they're both adamant about hanging on to their house and NOT downsizing into something they can afford.

So yeah, whipping that old plow horse.

Do I need a 700 in my arsenal.

I've trued a bunch of 700s over the past 20yrs - quite a few for myself, the rest for customers. But when custom clone actions became available for under $900, my attitude changed. The last bare 700 action I bought sat in the safe for about 3yrs, and by the time I'd made up my mind what I was going to build on it, Remington had gone tits-up, and I couldn't even find the bolt stop or sping.

I'd ordered in a custom bolt with a 223 boltface, spec'd body dia at .700", mini 16 extractor, and .061" firing pin hole, so bought a complete striker assembly for it. The lack of a bolt stop was still an issue, but when I found that LRI had developed their own custom bolt stop, I decided to take the easy way out and just send the action to Chad.

While I was talking with the LRI sales person on the phone, I asked about dealer pricing for the full action truing and bolt fitting - I'd watched the video online of Chad's new 5-axis machine doing the whole job, and was fascinated with it. Since I had pretty well decided that this was going to be the last 700 action for myself, I decided why not have them do the truing, as well as fitting the custom bolt (after spiral fluting it)? So when the action came back, I spent a good deal of time just enjoying looking at it, and all the work they'd done to it. Yes, the custom side-mounted bolt stop works pretty slick & looks at least as nice as any I've seen on many different custom actions. But they also asked if I was going to CeraKote the action & bolt while taking the order for the work, so they could adjust the bolt bore of the action to make sure it would work well with the coating. And after I'd gotten the bbl done for it, and then CeraKoted the complete bbl'd action with Armor Black, it ran very slick. So now, it's one of my favorite rifles, with a 1-9tw Bartlein 20cal bbl that I chambered in 20 Tactical, in a McMillan Game Scout stock in McWoody gel coat finish. This was more-or-less a special rifle that I put together for myself, and I had a great time placing the order for the machine work on the action & bolt, as well as a great time admiring that machine work when it came back - just a treat for myself, with no need to justify spending as much on it as if I'd bought a Zermatt Origin instead (which is what I did the next time I did a rifle project for myself).

And today, if a customer walked in with a request for a rifle build, I'd definitely recommend a custom action. And if the guy (or gal) had a 700 action that he or she wanted to build the rifle on, I'd just tell them that it was going to be sent off to LRI for most of the work, and that it was going to wind up costing them as much as an Origin or other 700 clone. Of course, they can always decide just to have me put a custom barrel on the action without truing it....

B14r hard closing ? Cock on close?

I didn’t grease the cocking piece threads, and appreciate the tip. I’ll do that.

However, that won’t change the cock on close going on. It seems like the force to close the bolt is about 1.5x the force required to open it.
Curious, as I don't recall the B14R I owned being cock on close, but have you done any "work" on the trigger, bolt, etc, other than described above. COC is not an ideal situation for sure and if you can't figure it out then maybe a good smith should take a peek.
EDIT:
There are some excellent explanations in other forums that talk about what causes COC and how to remediate it.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

gonna get me a flaming,but. the outcome of VN war shows that the hippies and such were right all along. the reasons and motivation of different groups and individuals varied greatly. many groups and individuals were quite "pro war". VN,women's lib,drugs,civil rights,sexual revolution,huge welfare additions all hit society in MOL the same time frame and were and still are very divisive.
to me has been odd,considering all that,that so many rep,rt wing,conservative Americans have become anti war. meaning anti wars of choice and empire,not anti defense. guess that is in line with the realization by many of us that the government is corrupt at unbelievable levels,abusive and exploitative at USSR levels.
VN, was Kennedy’s war, a Democrat. Johnson prolonged it, Once committed, the right, said well, kick the crap out of the Communists, and win this motherfucker.
The Left couldn’t have us uneducated Americans killing communists wholesale. Then the left produced their visible asses, (hippies, celebrities, Hollywood, and others of the same ilk {who haven’t changed their commie colors one iota}) came out as Anti-war. And anti-conservative.
As warriors, we were kicking ass every single day. We were wining when we left.
AFTER the warriors left, the Politicians shit the bed, and quit, with no honor whatsoever. The enemy was in the USA. If we’d cleaned out Hollywood, and Haight Ashbury, we probably wouldn’t have men in women’s sports and people cutting their son’s dicks off.
