No sir, they are still machined from barstock. I'm sure not afraid if a quality cast receiver though.


I thought 700 receivers were made from Seamless tubing rather than bar stock??


Nope.

I am fairly certain that both Stuart Otteson and Frank DeHass described the 722 and the 700 as starting as tubing. It is possible that Remington changed the method of manufacture in later years(wouldn't surprise me) or the authors were mistaken. Post -64 Model 70's were forgings as were Sakos. GD
