[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1811363, member: 2736"] This is one of those things that sound like a good idea, But have proven not to be very accurate. The idea of a barrel extension is good but offers little support if an aluminum action is used with a conventional bolt design. If you could machine a bolt race way, and internal lug abutments plus the chamber. the barrel shank would be very long and with no room for error. If it didn't shoot well, you would have no option to improve on it. With the Remington 770 for example, there is no way to adjust the head space, clean up the chamber, change cartridges or any other way to improve it, so you are stuck with what you have. With the threaded receiver you only have to change the barrel to totally change the cartridge, caliber, twist rate, contour, length, head space, lead angle and many more things rather that change the whole action and barrel.
