Gunsmithing lets say i used a new mod 70 action

Nothing wrong with a Winchester at all. I have 2 builds with Winchester actions and I could argue they are better than the ole M700. There are aftermarket parts for them as well. The "new" actions are limited to the factory trigger, I belive.
The current M70 action is made by FNH. Between the excellence of the design and the high quality of the manufacturing, it's a safe bet my next build will be with this action, just as my last was.
Timney is making a trigger to replace the M.O.A. trigger and claims have been made the 2 stage X-treme trigger can be made to work with some modification, though aside from a few emails I've not ventured there yet.

The barrel threads are a bit different. My guess as to why is to thwart would be gun plumbers from screwing with them.
Off the top of my head I dont know the pitch. Its fine. Like supah supah fine. 32tpi or so.
If your hanging a barrel itd be wise to encourage your smith to run a few practice tennons as super fine thread pitches require a slightly different touch when machining manually. Your margin for error narrows significantly and its VERY easy to gall stuff up due to a poor surface finish.
Practice, practice. . .
Good luck on your project.
