[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1302082, member: 12995"] You do know how gunsmithing works right? There's this fancy "new" tool called a lathe...And you can chuck any long skinny piece of metal into it, and with the right tooling, measuring, and know-how, you can shape it anyway you want, and even thread it to make it fit anything, as long as the piece you're starting with is larger than the goal diameter. :cool: His 700 will make for a great switch-barrel. You pin the recoil lug to the action in atleast 2 places, and you use the same lug for both barrels. He just has to ensure that both of his barrels get headspaced by the same smith to the same lug and action. Once that happens, he should have no problems, as long as he applies equal torque to the action when swapping the barrels to ensure no slack in the headspacing. [/QUOTE]
