[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1035241, member: 63138"] tbrice23 I kept the barrel nut. As I recall I changed out the barrel, the bolt head and the firing pin assembly (since the bolt head is longer, the firing pin needs to be longer and though they are adjustable for length they won't really adjust enough). Savage will sell direct to you whatever parts you want as long as you send them a letter indicating that you will not hold them liable when you blow yourself up. I also have a 300 RUM built on a Savage Model 114 that was a 270 Win with a small shank. On that one I went to a competition lug (thicker) in addition to the other changes and of course all got bedding jobs. The 300 RUM is a .25 MOA rifle for 15 shots with the 210 Bergers - and then it needs to be cleaned or it opens up to pieplate size. It is just a cheap stainless factory barrel that I got off Numrich's website for $95 so I didn't expect much. Turns out I really like the 300 RUM so I may go for a good barrel at some point. [/QUOTE]
