I have this posted in firearms section too but this one draws a better class of people.
Ok, maybe one exception.
Anyway, I need a Rem 700 short action, at least the bolt, receiver and trigger. Mag box good but not necessary. Bolt face not important.
I want to trade a long action rifle, in 30-06 and it will be a 78 which is a 700 ADL with no checkering and birch stock.
So, someone has one and wants to trade; I just have to find him. Or her.
PM me.
Thanks.

My ears are burning again. lol

I'd trade you one if it were not for that damned border and ITAR. Fawking liberals !

I know; we should have made canada a state when we had the chance. Could have bought it for less than the price of Alaska.

Actually, we should have kept going after we burned DC and taken the whole USA and sliced it into 5 new provinces. But hindsight is always 20/20 and we didn't really want the Acaidians back and there was that little matter that we all sobered up and had to get home for supper!

Is Speer the exception?

I bought one of these.

Mine came with the one piece bolt.

Well, I'm never the rule, so the math gets simple from that point on. LMAO ROFF

Who started that war anyway? Oh, it was us. But England was busy with Napoleon and couldn't do two wars at once; which is a reason to go to war with someone who can't properly attend to it. That is one of Sun Tzu's basic principles, (which we had to study in C&GSC).
Is Speer the exception? If someone wonders if he is the exception, then he is.
Good price on that 700 but I need to trade into one. But as a last resort....
Doesn't PTG braze the handle on like factory? Making them two piece?

You looking for chrome moly or stainless? I have several new stainless on hand and several chrome moly model seven's

Yup, it was you coconuts that started it, as usual. You invaded York. But we played a trick on you and blew up the cities powder magazine as we executed a strategic withdrawal. A fancy name for: (run away, run away, run away fast). You weren't very impressed with that because we accidentally, kind of blew up one of your hoity toity, fuzzy nutted generals, or something like that. As a show of disgruntlement and righteous indignation, we rowed across the puddle and burned DC. Actually, Americans have tried to invade Canada 4 times. The last time was the Oka Crisis in 1990 when a bunch of your maverick, Mohawk Injuns went on the warpath and invaded one of our golf courses. I think your gubberment finally had to buy the golf course to get them to settle down. I disremember the particulars now, but I'm sure we probably screwed you on the price of the golf course.

They don't teach all that in American History. We are just taught that England was impressing sailors into the Navy, (and I don't mean impressing them with fancy uniforms) so we declared war. England burned Washington, but then got tired and basically quit.
Looking for chrome moly. Model 7 will work.

Nup, it was retaliation for the battle of York. We don't go out burning down the neighbors without a good reason. Not cricket, you understand? But your historians are partly correct. After the bonfire we basically sobered up and had to get back home for supper. I think they forgot the S'mores. If they had remembered to bring S'mores, things might have turned out very differently!

You should be proud of your Mohawks though. I think they had us surrounded and boxed in for a couple of months. As typical of the Canadian government, there was a horrible case of massed indecision going on there. You can't just go around shooting endangered species. And Mohawks are high up the list with Tiger, Rhino and the Crested Tit Mouse!

Cool beans. ... York, otherwise known nowadays as "Toronto..." And Zebulon Pike. For whom Pike's Peak is named. Guess he should have stayed around Colorado...
And about a year later we opened another can of whoop@$$ on you at the Battle of Plattsburgh.
You lost. Get over it...): ):

Tom,
Mine is a one piece bolt.You know "Bolt handle is machined from the same hunk of metal".

I didn't know PTG made them that way. Good to know.

They started making one piece versions along with two about 4 years?? ago.

Good people to deal with also...PTG.

I deal with PTG all the time on reamers but I don't want to pay this much for an action for this project.

And I will have you know that I am not an old fart. I am a curmudgeon. A curmudgeon is an old fart with an extensive vocabulary and a really bad attitude.

There is an archeological term for an advanced curmudgeon. It is 'coprolite' and refers to a fossilized human turd.

Not quite sure what to do with that one, so I'll just leave it alone...

On second thought, I do know where to go with this:
I see no reason for the personal attack / aspersion, but if you insist... Very funny, asshole. Now Go Fuck Yourself!

Everyone; Stand Down; no need for any of this. Jokes are good until they get personal.

H47. You misunderstand. I am the copolite. You are a mere curmudgeon!

Well that wasn't very clear at first. I couldn't figure out why you would be taking shots at me over something in my signature line that seems pretty harmless. Unless you are Canadian and exacting revenge for my comments about 1812. ( We aren't still fighting that one are we??) Or maybe Speerchucker sent you. Yeah that's it... he is really Gandalf hiding out in the frozen North, and sent the big eagle Gwahir to drop some shit on his enemy... Yeah, that must be it!! Yeah.
Anyway, I thought about it for a while and decided that a curmudgeonly response was in order. Can't bill yourself as a curmudgeon without using an F word or an A word once in a while after all...
Sooo... please feel free to Go Unfuck Yourself, at your leisure of course..

I can't even spell curmujun much less know what one is.

A curmudgeon is a solitary kinda critter, generally smells bad, nips corn squeezins, hides from the evil monster in the kitchen in the bottom of a dusty old rocker and gives quarters to little kids so they will get lost, Tom. LOL

Hmmm. In that case, I resemble one in a lot of ways.

I know the feeling. Right now I'm missing an evil monster in the kitchen. I've escaped 3 times. But new ones hunt me down and lock me back up. It's only a matter of time, but I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

If only they would realize that I'm no good and plumb bad loco! Leads me to believe that evil kitchen monsters are not as bright as they claim to be. Or maybe I'm missing something?

Actually,47, from the perspective of a coprolite, being referred to as an asshole is rather refreshing. Anything is a step up from a fossilized turd. Your recommendation for specific sexual activity, however, is just not likely to happen. You will understand when you get older.

Yeah, "when I get older...." I've always wondered what it would be like to be all grown up. Actually, I've spent the last 70 years wondering. Apparently it hasn't happened yet. Probably won't. But the sexual thing, yeah. That just ain't fair! Not fair at all.

Well, that was fun! One has to exercise one's inner curmudgeon from time to time. Can be a cathartic process if done right. Now that we're all cleaned out, everybody have s wonderful day...

I've got the evil monster in the house; best to stay as far away from her as possible at all times and then you will be ok. Do not talk to her and definitely do not make eye contact; that will evoke a nasty response.

Ok, guys. I realize I could get drummed out of the curmudgeon club for this... as we speak, the odor of delicious pumpkin bread is wafting in from the kitchen while I sit in the dusty rocker and attempt without much success to frighten small children. I know how "the guys" like to get together and bitch and whine about "the old lady. " But seriously...

For over 48 years, she has been my best friend, my constant companion, and the love of my life. Probably the single best thing that ever happened to me, and most likely I wouldn't have survived all of the shit life has thrown at me without her. And we did it together. She puts up with all of my curmudgeonly crap too. Sometimes I catch her cussing quietly, but she always comes up smiling.

So, guys, I am well and truly blessed. And if that means I have to burn my curmudgeon card, then so be it...

Yeah, you're out.

If you ever do irritate one. The best procedure is to stare it its shoes and back up slowly repeating the words (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry) until you are out of range and then retreat until you are out of ear and eye shot. Some place dark and dusty is best. They are scared of dark and dusty. Greasy is good too. They don't like greasy stuff. They HATE quiet places most of all. If they come on to a quiet place and can't make it noisy by adding radios, TVs or kids they will avoid it like the plague!
