Sources for 80% 700 action
Tags: None -
It doesn't work like that. The shop would need to submit drawings and get a letter of approval after submitting a sample part. You'd never get one in time to beat the required application for serial number dead line. -
I'm not asking to beat a deadline. I want to know if anyone makes them, or any machine shop that has made 80% receivers in the past might be game to try making 700 receivers.Comment

There isn't much chance of getting an 80% receiver made up at anything approaching a reasonable cost, and having one manufactured by a known manufacturer may be better for liability when it comes to materials, heat treating and hardness testing, and ability to use standard Remington and aftermarket parts, This is about as close to an 80% Remington 700 action at a reasonable cost you can get. Still need to add all the rest, bolt and magazine, etc,:
Shop rifle parts (2,359) at Brownells, including barrels, stocks, triggers, and bolt carriers to customize, repair, or upgrade your rifle’s performance.
or the same stripped receiver long action:

I have bought and built rifles on this complete .308 Win sized 700 short action although in the right handed configuration, with great results, currently out of stock:

Other suppliers are:
David had the following to say about his build. "I am writing you regarding my recent purchase of the Remington action and Criterion barrel in the light varmint contour. I am very pleased with the service and products. I have attached a photo of a 5 shot group at 100 yards running 155 Hornady amax. These loads are for another .308 rifle. What a surprise! Quality is your friend!"
Happy building.Last edited by Wrangler John; 12-22-2017, 2:00 AM.Comment
