Greetings AR Colleagues, Will a recent (1990's)manufactured Winchester Model 70 CRF barrel fit an older Pre 64 Win Model 70 action without major work? Thread spacing the same etc...can the barrel be just screwed on and headspace set? Thanks in advance for your advice, Paul "Diligentia - Vis - Celeritas" NRA Benefactor Member Member DRSS | ||

I don't think so, odds are the extractor cut in the breech end won't line up. Also, the headspace will probably not be correct. Other than that, the threads should work OK> Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Custom Gunmakers Guild | |||

I've done it. Threads okay. Extractor cut don't line up and headspace was off. Since I was reloading, I headspaced the belted case off of the shoulder for my own testing, then took it off. | |||
