Rem do this on purpo[/b] So are you suggesting that if indeed the freebore (or throat as I refer to it) is longer than .300", it is out of SAAMI specs? That also is interesting, though does not make much of a difference really. With regards to legal implications -- a gun that is outside of SAAMI specs, but actually is "less dangerous" than SAAMI specs could never be held up to a product liability lawsuit. Remington could wander outside of SAAMI specs so long as they have good evidence that their non-conformance to SAAMI results in a less "dangerous" gun. Albeit, less accurate.... ......................................................................................................................... Topic long free bore/throat.
