Customs, pre-fits

[Dgd6mm]

Which custom actions will except a Rem-Age prefit?

I have heard that BigHorn's will and I am wondering if Curtis Customs will. Curious if there are others.

Yes on the BHA action.

Yes on the BHA action.

The Bighorns have a flat bolt face and won't work with Remage barrels that have recessed counterbores in them. If the Remage barrels you order are cut flat at the back like a savage then you should be ok. Or if you have the 20 TPI Bighorn actions they will work with standard small shank savage barrels.

Thanks for the replies. I understand now, the BHA is capable of excepting Savage pre-fits. Are there other customs out there that will do the same?

Yep, you're right, I locked onto the barrel nut as supposed to the thread. When I it's time to re-barrel my BHA LA SR2, I'd be going with a NUT.

Mausingfield Bolt Action

The Mausingfield action is compatible with some barrels and locknuts designed for Savage bolt-action rifles. See the section titled "Barrels for Your Mausingfield" for more information regarding the use of Savage barrels.

Barrels for your Mausingfield

Mausingfield actions with serial numbers of M5A3-00005 through M5A3-00024 use a 1.125" x 20 UN 2B thread, making them compatible with commercially available Savage large shank barrels and locknuts.

Mausingfield actions with serial numbers of M5A4-00025 and higher use a 1-1/16" x 20 UN 2B barrel thread, making them compatible with commercially available Savage small shank barrels and locknuts.

Both types of barrels can be easily installed without the need for custom machining. Please note that the 1-1/16" x 16 UN thread of the M700 is not the same as that of either the Mausingfield or the Savage. Therefore, Remington M700 barrels are not compatible with the Mausingfield.

The Mausingfield can also be fitted with threaded and shouldered barrels that do not require a locknut. Such barrels should have a minimum shank diameter of 1.20 inches (30.5 mm), unless they are to be installed on a Mausingfield action having a serial number between M5A3-00005 and M5A3-00024. For actions with any of those numbers, the barrels should have a minimum shank diameter of 1.25 inches (31.7 mm).
