I haven't bought ammo in decades, but I'll be glad when people stop asking me to load their brass.  I guess in 2 years we will see a bunch of lightly used or new/unboxed reloading equipment on the market.  I just hope the sellers don't expect to get out of it what they paid for it.

Interesting link.  They seem pretty proud of there stuff. I don't know what I would do with a bent 96 action for $100

Win 70 and Ruger 77 have the same threads.  You might find a Ruger barrel cheaper.  I might know a guy with a Ruger American take off. I don't know if the American and the 77 are the same thread pitch though ??

A lot of folks grip about ER Shaw, but every one that I have owned has shot well.

Nice work. Will the parkerize "grey" or "green" with age?

If I had a k kale the fed 22-250's flawlessly I would rebarrel it to 22-250!

If the barrel is a keeper and the stub reciever junk cut the relief groove in the reciever ring.

 

Whacking is good, but using a wooden 4x4 isn't as effective as a steel hammer. The wood compressing at point of impact acts as a shock absorber.

If the impulse of a smack with a 4x4 didn't work, it will need a relief cut.  Since the receiver is junk and the barrel is good, make a relief cut on the receiver just behind the barrel shoulder.

9/16-24 is a semi standard thread pitch, as is 1/2"-28. Is this a 7mm, 30 cal, 6.5???

I would go 1/2-28 (if you are 7mm or smaller) then you can get adapters to go up to 5/8-24

I'll start a new thread, but how does the rear sight come off?

I needed to save this barrel as I plan on making it a 6.5 Rem Mag. A relief cut would ruin the barrel - or at least cause me to move the shoulder, recut the breech cone and extractor notch.

I didn't need to notch my wrench to remove the barrel. I don't plan on putting it on that tight so I won't notch it to install the barrel either.

Does anyone have the John Deere shim part numbers, that riceone was talking about (in the above link)?? I'd like to have some on hand.

The 700 wrench fit the receiver and I didn't modify the wrench. I placed the recoil spud against the relief for the Rem recoil lug. It came loose w/o too much effort. If it was rusted and frozen on there I would have needed to mill out the wrench and give the recoil spud more support.

I'm wanting to save a 6.5 barrel from a barreled receiver. What is the best way to remove the barrel. I have a vice and a 98 action wrench and a Rem 700 action wrench. Will the 700 action wrench fit if I mill a notch out for the recoil spud?
