    Re: installing ghost ring sights The factory bead is screwed into a small hole. The factory "bead on pedestal" is silver soldered on. The aftermarket ghost ring sights are epoxied on, especially if they have tritium inserts. The heat from silver soldering would ruin the insert. When new...

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool and Gauge Bottom Metal

    Best Rem. 700 Clone?

    Re: Best Rem. 700 Clone? I own two Lawton actions and they are both awesome, but having said that, I dont know that I would buy another. Barney was the heart of that company. The Bat VRPIC is truly one of the finest actions I have ever seen, but I agree with 0311 that they might be too...

    differences between rem 722 & 700?

    Re: differences between rem 722 & 700? All parts are interchangable. The only real difference is that the slot was cut in the side of the right lug and added the ridge to the receiver so the bolt would (hopefully) not bind as much.
