is it possible to take a rem 700 7mm rem mag and shorten the chamber to make a 7mm saum
I was wanting to take a 7mm mag sendro barrel and make a 7mm saum stainless fluted heavy barrel and the heavy barrelDepending on your barrel, it may be possible if you have enough tenion length.What barrel does your rifle currently have, sporter, varmit, sendero bull ?
just to have oneSendero profile I would say it's possible....but why ?
The 7MM Rem Mag case is 2.5" L. The SAUM case is 2.035" L. That leaves a difference of .465". That means a good portion of the threads on the barrel would need to be cut off, in which case the gunsmith would be starting from scratch. Meaning, you'd pay the same price as he would charge to thread and chamber a custom barrel. Is a factory Rem barrel worth that cost? Not IMO! And, the costs are not over, yet! That conversion is NOT a "drop-in" when it comes to feeding. Much work would need to be done there, also.......
