Receivers only ?

[Gary Smith]

I saw a ad the other day that implied Remington was now selling receivers only.
Can one buy a Winchester receiver by it's self ?
I have always wanted a controlled round 30.06 Winchester/ M40A1 type rifle,
without buying a new rifle and throwing most of it in a parts bin.

Fn makes Winchester and I have seen short action fn receivers for sale.

I believe the 30.06 would be long action

From what I understand a Remington action does not meet the ATF's requirements for a standalone action. This information needs to be on the action, Remington has the city and state on the barrel. This is why the FN actions that became available had to have the city and state engraved on them. Not sure how Brownells sells them.

Model
Serial number
City and state

Does Remington sell Model 7 actions or only Model 700's?

I don't know about the model 7's, but Bruno's Shooter Supply has the Remington 700 long and short actions in stock right now. I don't believe they're trued. There is a dealer out of Washington or Oregon that sells them fully trued, but that name escapes me right now. I think they're a Hide dealer too.

Bruno Shooters Supply: Remington

According to ATF, Mark is correct.

Since Remington does not sell the action alone, (it doesn't contain the required information) anyone disassembling a rifle and selling the action alone, becomes the manufacturer, and is required to inscribe the action with their Make, Model, SN, City and State, to comply with ATF Regs.

Cheaper to buy a Rem 700 ADL than a virgin action...

 

[Gary Smith]

Yes I believe your right. Cabelas has sale on Rem 700 @ $500 w/rebate

I picked up a 700 action from brownell's a couple of weeks ago for $389 shipped.

Yep. We have ADLs at $389 at Academy. I get 20% off too .

I may snag another M700 before I move onto a career.
