Harrison,

In a short answer... YES... but the bolts are different... Pacific Tool/Gauge can make a bolt for the .338LM that will fit the L/A...

You will still have to have the action set to the barrel and bolt fitted...

In the end... your looking at about the same price as finding a FACTORY Remington MLR .338LM.. cost is around $1200....


If you build it... Action - $350 ish... Barrel - $350 ish.. Bolt - $350 ish... Fitted/Smith $350 ish... still need a stock..

hope this helps..

I am in the process of getting parts together for a build now..

I have a modded MLR .338LM... and I am using the factory PSS stock and Badger Metal/ Mag to build another one.

Matt.
