    Pre 64 Model 70 Sticky Bolt Problem

    ...Mod 70's, pre-64 Mauser style are not the smoothest of actions, especially if you're comparing them to a Rem 700 or similar. Even if you've cleaned everything and oiled it, they are still typically a little clunky and stiff simply because of the design and function of their moving parts when...

    Trigger/DBM fitment

    ...normally the Timney will not fit, it's too long. However, it's easy to grind off/shorten and re-shape/refinish the trigger to fit if so desired....good luck...

    Hard to close bolt and eject

    ...sounds and looks like headspace is just too tight, it doesn't sound like an extractor issue...re-check headspace, you probably just need a few more thousandths. If you need more help shoot me a PM....

    Gunsmithing My receiver is missing a thread What do I do?

    ...it's common to have a gap in the threads or a partial "skip" thread where the extractor cut is exactly where you noticed, not a big deal. I've seen factory Mod 70 actions that only had barrel threads on half, yes half the action, the extractor side was nearly threadless. They just crush-fit...

    Gunsmithing Looking for a gunsmith to drill/tap barrel and receiver for iron sight bases....

    ...if you're one of Greg's clients, I would help you out with the irons. You're not going to find a lot of takers because there's very little money to be made on a project like that (not to mention very little room for error when drilling/tapping holes for irons) and there's really not that...

    Soltis Rifles/Rock Creek Barrels, 700SA/5R's

    ...no, I'm not touching the factory triggers because I'm really trying to keep the cost as low as I can on these, I'm just including them because they come with the action. From the factory, these X-Mark's run about 5lbs or so and are "OK", although I would always prefer to replace them with a...

    Soltis Rifles/Rock Creek Barrels, 700SA/5R's

    ...sold as-is meaning if you want a different trigger or 8-40 scope base holes or the bolt-fluted or whatever other little tweaks, I'm not making those changes with these (unless you buy one and then want us to customize it further) so I can keep the cost down as much as possible for Hide...

    Soltis Rifles/Rock Creek Barrels, 700SA/5R's

    ...I'm a site sponsor and I'll be putting it in the for sale section as well. I tried attaching some pictures, but can't get it to work with this new forum set-up...not sure what I'm doing wrong, they're listed as "tags" but they're not both working and I would rather just have the pictures...

    Factory 700 with bad chamber!!

    ...as long as the ring isn't bulging it's probably just the chamber edge and the vertical scrathes are pretty normal from the feed lips/ramps/extraction/the follower/etc...did you inspect the extractor for proper functioning, or if the chamber is "sticky" on extraction may just need a little...

    New Build Questions

    Re: New Build Questions ...beyond 1500 yds? Yeah, Heavy Palma or Tactical AMU or similar, the heavier the better for that kind of shooting. I would call the Bartlein guys and get their two cents as well....good luck, sounds like a cool build.

    all around hunting caliber

    Re: all around hunting caliber 45.308 knows what he's talking about, it's fun discussing calibers, but shot placement and bullet quality is really all that matters in the end. That being said, I believe if you're hunting big game (especially at longer ranges), you should bring plenty of gun...

    New Build Questions

    Re: New Build Questions As for taper/contour, it's all about weight and how much you're looking to incorporate into your build. The actual "purpose" of the rifle usually determines how much it needs to weigh and the barrel is the primary ingredient in determining that weight. If you know...

    Looking for Rem700 barrelled action in 6.5 Creed

    Re: Looking for Rem700 barrelled action in 6.5 Creed ...I agree. I was over at Rock Creek talking to the shop manager, Paul, and he actually got me going on it. Great way to get guys started with their semi-custom/custom rig at a very affordable cost. Now if I could only get them to turn...
