[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 269343, member: 10"] The custom receivers may appear to be the same as the Rem 700 but they certainly are not where it matters. They have longer, wider and thicker bolt lugs that have a much higher shear point. More importantly, they will have more steel behind the bolt lugs in the receiver. May only be 50 thou thicker but this is a dramatic amount when it comes to strength. Also, many of them have slightly larger receiver threads so that the barrel threads are larger in diameter which also helps control any stretching of the chamber area when fired with a larger diameter chambering. Again, they may appear to be the same but that is externally. Another thing to consider is that you can manipulate heat treating and use different materials to make a very similiar product much stronger. There is much more then meets the eye with most of these custom receivers. [/QUOTE]
