Remage Threading

[NealC]

I noticed in a couple threads that the gunsmith may have "modified" the receiver threads when new barrels are installed and that one cannot use a Remage barrel because of that reason. Aren't threads made to a spec? Can someone explain this? I got a line on an X-Caliber Remage barrel and would like use it but my receiver was rebarreled and the gunsmith is longer around.

some smiths thread to .010 over in receiver then cut bbl thd to match, when re-barreling, just have to ck. before you order bbl.

Is it to improve the consistency of the threads?

It is to "straighten" the threads. Factory threads can be a little off center.
Also there is a place that makes remage barrels and nuts .010" over factory.....

I need to do research on them to see how good their barrels are but.

MGM has built most of their success machining custom barrels for TC platform rifles and pistols like the Omega, Oncore, Contender etc... Those barrels are the most accurate available for the TC platform, so I think it is a safe bet to assume that their savage/ remage barrels will be shooters as well.

Thank you for your verification of quality!! Now I have another option to consider that might be cheaper to build a 6.5PRC off of!!

I shoot two barrels from them. Great guys they are. Look into mgm (match grade machine hurricane Utah).

It seems the way to tell if the receiver has been "trued" would be to measure the diameter of the threads on the old barrel. Assuming you have a 700 action, the factory thread should be 1.062x16. If barrel is standard thread it will probably measure from 1.058 to 1.064. When action threads are straightened or recut, the standard specs are not used and the barrel then has to be "fitted" to the new thread dimension in the action.

I turn my own barrels. I cut the threads 1x16. I blue print my own Remington reciever too.
