MyNameIsEarlRemington 700 SA Bokt
I posted in classifieds but figured I would ask here too.
Im looking for a Standard bolt face Rem 700 SA right hand bolt body. I don't really need the firing pin but if that's what you have.
I have the same but its a Magnum bolt face for the SAUM. I am rebarrelling the action. I know they are all over eBay, overly priced. PTG has them also for a reasonable price.
Looking to trade is first choice but will buy if you don't want to trade. Thanks

kendogSlightly off topic, is your receiver from a SAUM as well? If so, you might encounter feeding issues with a standard .473 round. There are quite a few differences in the mag well opening, feed lip lengths, and release points for different calibers.If you are converting to a single stack this doesn't matter as much.

slivers^^^^^^^ What Kendog said........ And no doubt about it, you will have feeding issues if using a Rem internal magazine system.

I actually went back and forth with Old Remington a few years back about this. We were trying to get a 722 in 222 to feed 7.62X39. I asked for details about the different feed rail/caliber combinations and they replied "were not prepared to discuss this with anyone like you"!!

Yes sir I am aware. Its my brother's gun so I am going to experiment a little with converting to a Howa style detachable magazine. Im converting the rifle to a 6mm Rem so the OAL length will be pretty close. We will see.
