Remington 799 rebarrel for 6.5 grendel

[03cobra]

How did you bed your stock on that I have the same one in black? I have the new stock on mine but did not glass bed it or anything yet and was wondering if it was worth it. Also do you have a picture of the bolt knob you are talking about? Also have you done anything to the action mine is not all that smooth and has fair amount of bolt waggle when the bolt is pulled all the way back but maybe Im just used to my tikka and sako bolt guns. Is yours like that at all? With my hand loads in 7.62x39 the gun seems to be pretty darn accurate at 100 yards with 123gr. V-max bullets.

The stock and action are closely mated using Devcon PlasticSteel Epoxy. I think it is well worth it as the factory inlet is a little 'loose'.

I have worked the action:

• lapped the locking lugs
• reprofiled the spring for the bolt lock plunger
• reprofiled and polished the collar for the bolt guide
• polished the cocking ramp/cocking piece interface
• recut the cocking piece to deliver better lockup
• polished the bolt raceways
• reprofiled the magazine follower

The bolt waggle is typical mauser and comes from the smallish rear bridge. There is nothing you can do about it, and you will notice that it does not affect operation in any way.

The bolt knob is as pictured. This knob is on my 6mm PPC varmiter.
