[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 498730, member: 24624"] JE, Thanks for the good advice. I suppose there's no free lunch. Greg Tanner indicates he does this. But, I was thinking along the lines of being able to swap barrels between rifles. For example, I just got a 6mm barrel and 6BR reamer and was thinking I'd put that on the M70 long action now and later get a short action 700 to move it to. Obviously the headspace would need to be reset. But, matching the 700 threads now would make that more feasible. To your point, that may be overly optimistic if the subsequent 700 reciever threads have to be cleaned up and open up a little in which case, it won't be easy to get a good thread fit from the take off barrel anyway. ..plus the length of the threaded tenon doesn't match up either between Win and Rem. Whether we're talking about the barrel or reciever, once you take off metal, you can't put it back on. Thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
