Barrel Length and Threading – What You Need to Know

Customizing Your Barrel

The Remington 700 has barrel length and weight options. We recently worked on a .308 heavy barrel, cutting it down to 16.25 inches and threading it to 5/8×24. We’ve also threaded 7mm standard (tapered) barrels to 9/16×24—and the list keeps growing!

Why Barrel Diameter Matters for Threading

So what thread pitch should you use for your Remington 700? The answer depends on two things:

Caliber – Generally .30 caliber and above use 9/16×24 or larger.

Barrel Outside Diameter (OD) – The OD must be big enough for the threads.

• • Bull barrels? You can pretty much choose your thread size.
  • Light contour barrels? They might just meet the minimum OD for 9/16×24.

Why the Remington 700 is a Gunsmith’s Dream

One reason the Remington 700 is so popular? The round action is perfect for machining. The action mounts up nice and easy in a lathe’s 3-jaw chuck, making custom work and gunsmithing much easier—especially if you have a lathe with a long bed.## Removing a Remington 700 Barrel – Easier than You Think!

Thinking of changing your barrel? With the right tools, it’s not that hard. Check out Larry Potterfield’s video at Midway USA for a step by step.
