I thought about that , the blot not working right but he trued /squared up the lugs and the bolt does not hit anything it seems to work just fine the bolt worked fine before

front ring twisted smith says it came from remmy that way??

I had the smith take 2 guns a part remove barrels on 2 Remington 700's. He was to true & blue print 1 action, he called me up and told me it was warped/twisted, if you look at the action I don't see anything wrong with it ,it could have been his action wrench and a little to much muscle. I hope...

HI just wanted to know if any GUNSMITHS out their have run into a WARPED Remmy 700 action. Took one to a new local smith to see what he could do and he called me back and he told me the action was warped has any body run into this?? Or is this something more like to much heat when taking off...

Re: Winchester bottom metal Sunny Hill, Williams, bottom metal, good stuff.

Re: CRYO BARRELS the deep freezzz 300below uses a dry cryo process, rather than a wet process. Yes you can cryo a used barrel.300below has been doing this for 40 years,50,000 barrels.

Re: CRYO BARRELS the deep freezzz just talkjed to 300 Below, $185.00 for 3 barrels and return shipping and $300.00 insurance per barrel Thank you Mike Harper

Cryo a barrel is this a good thing to do, do we need it or not. Is thier a benefit to de-stressing a barrel with the deep freezzz, and if so who does it. Any gunsmiths want to add to this, all info is good info. I'm sending 3 new barrel to 300Below for Cryo when they get back from Kampfelds...

Looking for build spec's for a Winchester pre 64 mod 70 USMC SNIPER. I have a few pre 64 mod 70's, so why not build one.

What do you think, 7mag or 7wsm or other .284 cal. Rem 700, target weight 26" to 28" barrel.

7mm twist rate for 165gr to 180gr, 26" to 28" 5R barrel, wanting to use 168gr or 175gr vld's. Lots of good info on the 6.5's tw/r Thank you Mike Harper

Re: pre 64 bottom metal? A well known AI DBM for a real pre-64 mod 70 L/A, I know I would buy more than a couple I've been buy I have been buying pre-64 mod 70's since 1990.

Re: pre 64 bottom metal? Sunny Hill bottom metal is good for per64 mod70's, 1ST rate. I think Mcmillan made per64 mod70 bottom metal

What twist rate should be used in a 24" to 27" barrel for 139gr to 142gr. 26o.Rem, I'm wanting to use 140gr VLD's. Thank you Mike Harper
