[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 427195, member: 3733"] Well let me throw in somthing to think about! Not that this post hasen't made us think of plenty already. I have been workin on a nutted remington reciever. Not conventional in any sence of the savage nut. The remmy action has no internal threads(bored out) but external threads 20 tpi. the barrel has no threads but will be machined for a tight slip fit into the reciever. Along with the bolt nose counterbore it will also need a counterbore to accept the lugs, as the barrel "tennon" will actually extend back to the reciever lug abutments. The barrel will have a shoulder that mates to the reciever face and a mating nut that is slid over the barrel and tightened to the reciever. This nut also acts as the recoil lug with a double shoulder. This required adding a new scope base hole in the front reciever ring as the nut covers the front one up. Kind of ar-15 style barrel fitting but no seperate thread extension. Allows barrel indexing 360 degrees with the twist of a nut, and no headspace changes. Multiple barrels can be fit to the reciever and swapped out quickly. The 3 "rings of steel" just turned into 4. Nate has seen this one off creation when he timed and tigged a new handle on, When customers work gets caught up I will get this thing barreled up for a short range f-class rig in 6br for next season. This will likly only be a one of it's kind as it was somthing to satisfy my curiosity and help me sleep better at night! [/QUOTE]
