[QUOTE="Kiwi Nate, post: 353602, member: 8533"] Hi Mark, sorry for the slow reply, it was our annual Rodeo day today. Its now midnight and I am having a coffee in a meagre attempt to water down the kentucky sour mash before bed. Yep, my barrel screws in and out by hand, very easily. It is important that the threads are cut nicely on both the barrel and receiver in order to obtain a nice fit. The grub screw keeps it all in place. If I get a chance, I should really strip it and post you a pick. As for the magazine. The main difference between the RUM and standard cartridge magazines/ feeding issues is not so much in the feed rails as it is in the box. The box needs a window cut into it to house the RUM's for smooth feeding in the M700 action. You can easily obtain drawings for this or after market boxes from the likes of Wyatt outdoor supplies. Don't be too hasty in altering/ filing the feed rails till you have fitted the correct box for the cartridge in use. The M70 Winchester action doesn't need a window- it will feed everything. The downside is the shorter box length and heavier over all weight of the action and bottom metal. Cheers, Nathan. [/QUOTE]
