    Remington 783 action

    Measure the width of the mag compared to an aw mag. Also ptg has bolt heads if you want a magnum caliber. I think the stock hole spacing is different so I don't know about a dbm. Lumley has a steel dbm that could be welded up an given the correct hole spacing. Keep us posted.

    I bought one back around 2006 and the epoxy cracked the following summer. You might also like the b&c m40 or just pick up a used hs on the f/s forum.

    Why no love for Shilen barrels?

    No love for Shilen because Shilen has no love for us. They do not contribute to this forum while others do. That is why there is little mention of their name.

    Gunsmithing Building on Old Rem 700 vs Newer Rem 700
