Mentioning cutting through heat treating, I was thinking of extractors. Since you don't have to modify that on a custom action. </div></div>
could that be because the amount of material removed while truing a remington action is very minimal compared to what ever else he is machining? </div></div>
Comparing Winchesters to Remingtons he says he gets 15 uses from a cutter on the latter two 1-2 on the former. He's probably one of the best guys to go to in the country for a push feed M70 build. </div></div>
oh, now i get it. my bad. i guess i just thought since we were in a thread comparing trued remington 700s to aftermarket actions, i figured you were comparing those when you said this:

i didn't realize you were comparing a remington to a winchester. since we are now talking about that, why is the metallurgy/hardening better on a winchester than a remington? have you ever had or seen a remington fail due to the inferior metallurgy/hardening?
