mcmillan mtu htg stock question

[feesix]

Does anyone know if a rem sps tactical 308 varmint barrel will fit in a mcmillan htg stock with a mtu barrel channel? Thanks

Re: mcmillan mtu htg stock question

I'm not sure what you are asking. The MTU contour is bigger, so there will be a gap between the stock and barrel.

Well i have a buddy who has mamillan stock for sale with a mtu contour. and its cheap, but the only rifle i have right now is the sps tactical.

Just like RADcustom said, it will fit but the barrel will have a good bit more space around it.

Go to Krieger's website and take a look at the profiles and you will get a pretty good idea of the difference in profiles.

buy it now and build on it later

A little bedding compound will close the gap in the barrel channel if needed or you could save it for a future build if the price is right.

Here's a Rem varmint bbl in an A5 inletted for Douglas #7. Should be about the same gap as you would have with an MTU inlet.

That amount of gap does not look bad at all. Personally, I prefer enough gap to know that the barrel will not touch instead of not enough.

just consider it super free floated.

Noob question. Is bedding required at all? Do you want a touch of support on the barrel, or just the receiver is enough?

Re: mcmillan mtu htg stock question

I like to bed the full receiver, and put a pad of bedding under the first 1.5" or so ahead of the recoil lug. Whether or not it's necessary is the subject of many long debates.
