[QUOTE="IHFarmer07, post: 2891818, member: 75397"] Remage barrels can and sometimes are a VERY good option for hobbyists as thats what I do. I have one in a Valkyrie. Love the tinkering but I have a love hate relationship with the Valkyrie. In my research if you choose to have the action trued, there are a few ways of doing it, James at Northland Shooters Supply used to sell “trued” actions that just had the end of the action where the recoil sets against trued……I don’t know if he does anymore or if it improved much. Anyway, if you have it trued completely with single point truing of the threads there is some manufactures that will make barrel with over sized barrel threads for a trued action that I think was .010” over, not sure which remage manufacturers at this moment but I’m pretty sure McGowen did, maybe preferred barrels…..and there maybe some other more custom guys that do. Get the tooling and the head space gages, you will love the trip and enjoy it!! I would love to do more tinkering like that as I have all the tooling already and I’d like to get 22gt, 7mm08, 30-06 and a few more, but money now a days only goes so far! Also, James at northland used to sell some of the tooling, check him out on that also. Good luck on your expedition! [/QUOTE]
