I bought a bare Remington short action for an upcoming build. It's nominally a plain ol' .473 boltface action. I bought it without a bolt and am fitting a PTG magnum boltface bolt for a 6.5 SAUM build.
I will need to open the feed rails. I have a factory Remington WSM action on hand, so I can get measurements from that for the feed rails for a SAUM/WSM.
Before I do this I thought I'd ask the pros if there are any gotchas to be aware of. Also, do you do this on the mill, or use files? Sure looks like it'd be a quick job with files. I do however have a mill (and appropriate vise jaws to grab round stuff).
Thanks for any info! Appreciated bigly <grin>.
