Were the Remington XP actions(pistols) the same as any of Rem. rifle actions?

Steve E.......

Mines not the same, It doesnt have the three screws for adjustment just one and it needs adjusted now, lol Steve

If memory serves me it is the same as the 600. The XP was made then the 600s becuase you can make a pistol into a rifle but not a rifle into a pistol (or some such legal mumbojumbo).

the xp-100 is a slightly shortened and modified 600. the rear tang is shortened and the front action screw is in a different location. otherwise all 600 parts will fit. also, if your going to make a rifle out of a pistol, a 600 rifle stock will work with just alittle grinding and bedding. jim

What sort of cost is involved in going from pistol to rifle?

well you will need a 600/660 trigger and stock ( a 700 short action stock can be made to work), a rifle barrel ( minimun 16.5"), brownells acraglass gel or other bedding compound, and either a 600 trigger guard and screws/nuts or a 700 adl guard and screws/nuts. I've seen triggers go for $35.00, stocks for $45.00, new barrels for $45.00, acraglass gel for $15.00, guards and screw sets for $15.00. thats $155.00 maybe less if you do some shopping. gunsmith fees of $20.00 and up to headspace the new barrel. so $175.00 for a rifle, if your handy and can grind out the stock and follow the bedding instructions. jim

Thanks for the information. Now I just have to decide ; keep as is, sell/trade, or make into a nice compact rifle.
