[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2588897, member: 59036"] I have also replaced factory take off barrels on M700 actions. I was surprised when the first one head spaced perfectly, but I learned on subsequent replacements, that was almost always the case. The only problem I encountered was that the stampings on the barrel wasn’t in the correct position.I found that if the receiver was also virgin factory it almost ”always“ worked. I also found out that if I had to true the receiver face, I could true the recoil lug on a surface grinder and correct the head space. [/QUOTE]
