[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1539131, member: 12995"] I have a custom on a Browning A-Bolt II action. Seems a lot of misconceptions out there on the web claiming the actions will break if the factory barrel isn't properly removed. Seems most smiths don't even touch them. Apparently Browning uses some sort of loc-tite type of substance on the factory barrel threads. The trick is to heat it up first to get the stuff malleable again, and then the barrel spins right off like any other action. Once you get the factory barrel off the action, rebarreling from then-on is just like any other rifle. Aftermarket support is very thin, but there are stocks out there. EGW makes picatinny rail bases for them. Timney makes triggers for the X-Bolt, and several people make trigger spring kits for the A-Bolts. [/QUOTE]
