This is further to the Remington 700 headspace Thick/Thin lug discussion. As I also have a Rem700 LA ADL, is it possible to put a barrel chambered for a short cartridge (say 243 Win) on it and expect it to feed? Logic (again!!) tells me you would have to fit a shaped aluminium block in the back of the long ADL magazine to shorten it, put in a short ADL follower and you might be in business. Being a pushfeed the timing of cartridge release from the mag is probably less critical than for a CRF. Anyone done this?? If Chuck Norris dives into a swimming pool, he does not get wet. The swimming pool gets Chuck Norris. | ||

it may feed just fine. I have a Rem 721 (long action) chambered for the .257 AI and if feeds just fine. Jerry Liles | |||

Never tried a 243 in a long 700. The MKX action is the same length for the 243 and 06. There is simply a spacer in the rear of the magazine box for the 243 & 308. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

The short answer is, yes (probably). I believe the Army's M-24 chambered in .308 is actually a long action Remington. "I ask, sir, what is the Militia? It is the whole people.
