[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 667359, member: 9253"] I have a 17 Rem AR-15 which I built using this Shilen barrel and bolt: [url]http://www.midwayusa.com/product/128750/shilen-drop-in-match-barrel-with-bolt-ar-15-17-remington-920-muzzle-diameter-1-in-10-twist-24-stainless-steel[/url] It' was an easy "drop in" build using standard AR-15 components including the buffer components. The bolt is nothing special, only provided with the barrel to insure proper headspace tolerances. Why would anyone chose to re-contour and re-chamber a bolt action barrel into an AR-15 barrel when a quality factory barrel is available "off the shelf" ? I'm not saying it can't be done, but I can't believe it's worth the effort. Tuning the gas port on an AR-15 for a "non-standard" cartridge is not a trivial job. [/QUOTE]
