[QUOTE="vipersnest, post: 491268, member: 30739"] Thanks for the input coyboy.but i think there may be a misunderstanding about my post so please let me clear this up,I dont have this rifle sitting on my work bench about to slam it together half @#% without any proper knowledge or with out some good reading and I had no intentions of chasing out or recutting the threads just true the face of the receiver and lap the bolt lug..Ive built savages 110 with great results and I know thats alot easier then the 700rem so I'll get all the proper info and help before I tackle this project..We have to ask and read and watch to learn before we do ..My question was more about the short chamber barrels having enough room in the short chamber to install the barrel fully and properly with a badger recoil lug to then finish the chamber by hand without having to cut the shoulder anymore after the intial cut, that being measured after receiver facings ,bolt lapping and new lug measured I'm not going to just throw the barrel forward leaving the differance of the factory lug and comp lug as exposed case and space between bolt and barrel..but i know if i mess up cutting chamber by hand then off comes the barrel back to the lath and recutting shouder again.., another concern i had was the kind of results people have got with hand cutting chambers like chattering etc....this post is to begining of alot of reading and asking before ever starting the project That would be no time in the near future..I would never do this without knowledge and research..everyone who has done this before started somewhere and learn from other people by asking questions and after learning I may very well decide to do the bedding ,lug lapping,truing the face and raceways,and muzzle crown myself and leave the barrel install to the lathman if i find it not worth the trouble ..that being said i am greatful for all input but I'm not a jackleg thinking that this is easy job that any idiot can do with a barrel vise and a set of headspace gauges,just a guy wanting to gain knowledge about a skill and these questions are the first step to that ..but like you said after learning i may decide to stay with the savages..
