Switch Barrell Question
I have a Remington 700 in 223 (Adl Syn) What I need 2 know is.
I have found a NEW UNFIRED 223 bbl 700 that I want 2 chamber 2 a 222 Rem Mag. I know that is no problem.
However is it not possible 4 my gunsmith to take PRECISE measurments and he B able 2 chamber any barrel to the action from those measurments???
I hope I explained this correctly, the reason I asked wasI know the benchrest 'smiths do it all the time.


2 u all Thanx in advance

It can be done easily, your smith just needs to drill and pin the recoil lug and you will have to get yourself a barrel vise, action wrench, and headspace gauges.
