Pre'64 M70 barrel swapping - 08/27/10
Do these line up closely as far as sights and stamping when swapped?..or are they a hit and miss proposition? Does one normaly have to take them back a turn and rechamber...I know all about headspacing so forget about lecturing on that part of the job.
What I'm contemplating is taking a 1947 270 barrel and putting it into a 1953 receiver in which someone has previously opened up the bolt face & extractor to a .532" belted mag.....it will also be rechambered to 270 Wtby.
