Re: Remington 700 M40A1 barrels
My statement refering to which receiver was a joke. I have two 700s on the bench. One is a new SPS Varmint, the other was produced in 1972. So to answer the question of which one, it will be the 1972 reciever, due to it is a standard contour barrel, plus better metal. To answer the stock statement, have a 5r stock on the Varmint and one sitting below the bench for this project. If need be I will have it opened up for the new barrel.
