Gunsmithing Remington Model 700 Action

[michaelsredding]

Does anyone know where to get just the action of a Remington Model 700? I called Remington as well as a bunch of the local gun shops, but none of them can get their hands on one. It seems kind of ridiculous to buy a $900 gun just for the action.

Thanks.

buy an sps tactical. 550 ish and then sell the hogue stock, take off barrel, trigger if you want, bottom metal and you got an action left over

Remington stopped selling barreled actions and just actions a few years ago. Everybody and their brother who wants to build a relatively inexpensive tacticool bullet pusher wants a bare action or a barreled action on the cheap. Those deals are as scarce as hen's teeth these days.

You can get action only from Bruno's Shooter supply, Also Iron Brigade Armory has some.


Bruno's is only offering Blueprinted ones at the moment, IBA has all types

I lucked out and Walmart was closing out some Rem 700's in 243 for $300. I picked up 3 of them. I'd give them a call.

I picked 2 (actions only) up on gunbroker earlier this year. I also bought 2 barreled actions from fellow hiders on the WTS forum.

I see complete rifles going for cheap in the local ad rags,Pawn shops are more than willing to cut a deal these days,most guys don't realize that a bare action is worth as much as a "Huntin Rifle".Depending on what you want to build,I'd check out the custom actions,more resale value too.

Bruno's actions are bluprinted at $650. The new Surgeon RSR is $788 with the bolt.

Re: Remington Model 700 Action

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. Couldn't find any bare actions. I am building an M40A3 so it needs to be a model 700 7.62 x 51.

Re: Remington Model 700 Action

Any SA Rem 700, with a .473 BF will do for your build. It does not have to be an action from a 308.

Look in the classifieds here and on other gun forums. I just got a pristine 1980s, B prefix serial number, 308 varmint (24") barreld action of arfcom. I paid $420. Not the greatest deal, but cheaper than buying a whole rifle to throw away. I plan on keeping the barrel until it is shot out anyway.

What about a GAPrecision GAP 7000 action. Give George a call and see what he can do for you.
