Mods: Moved thread, please close. (Savage mounting system on Remington Rifles?)

[thomae]

Is it possible (using machine tools, of course) continue the thread on a Remington Barrel (i.e., cutting down/off the shoulder) and then making a barrel nut and fitting the barrel like a savage barrel? In my mind, this seems as if it would work. Am I missing something? Would it work on a Remington action?

I know it seems like a lot of work, but is there any reason it would not work?

Thanks. Just trying to think out of the box.
Cheers,

You may get more response if you moved this to the gunsmithing part of this forum. Why not just buy a Savage?

Not planning on doing this, but own both Savages and Remingtons and I got to thinking....

Good suggestion about moving thread...I'll do that. I guess I was more tired than I thought when I originally posted.

All the best,
