Question re: Lyman 48 Installation

[Chuckindenver]

Remingtons have the hole through and through, from 722 to 700,
though they mount on the left side,
the 40x highpower is thicker in the reciever ring area then a standard 700 after 1975.
as for strength?? id say a Nickle steel 03 or A3 beats the 40x, 700, ect.
iv drill into all of them, and welded on all of them...
the strongest??by far the Smith Corona A3..they hardened them through and through.
Remington A3, 40x and 700,s were only surface hardend
pic is of a 68 vintage 700 im rebluing for a guy that left the rifle in a soft case. stored in his camper, with a leaky roof...yes, it was rusted to the case..
still to this day cant understand why anyone would store a firearm in a camper, let alone a cheap naugahide case... keeps my pockets full for sure.

Good looking blue.

Have you ever polished and blued an 03A3?
