    Gunsmithing Advice on Remington Bolt Raceway Reamer

    I am about to order a Bolt Raceway Reamer from PT&G. Will a .705 clean most Remington 700s? I do not have many 700s in my shop to check at this time. I seem to remember some having a .706 front ring. Should I have the reamer built in a .707 Dia.? Thanks, Keith

    Gunsmithing M16 Extractor Question

    what is the correct depth to mill a 700 bolt for M16 style extractor on a 308 bolt face? It seems to me if you are not carefull you could mill into the firing pin hole. The instructions that Badger Ord. sent are for a 338 Lapua. A 308 needs to be deeper. Thanks for the help.
