barrel removal of remington mod 30

**armouredtrooper** · 02-21-2011 11:40 AM

I have just purchased a remington mod 30 action. the barrel is totally worn out and I'm thinking of re barreling it back to 30-06. I've never removed a barrel before and some pointers would be greatly appreciated. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
A.T.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I would tell you to take it to a reputable shop. First you would need a barrel vise and and action wrench for the removal and if you are going to put a new barrel on you need reamer to finish and headspace gages all of this could easily be $200.00 - $300.00 bucks. Alot easier and cheaper to have someone experienced to do it. I would contact CHUCKINDENVER on this forum.

Chuckindenver did my M1917 re-barrel job. Very tough job, as the barrels are on hard. Chuck is stupid cheap and very, very good.

Good advise. If you're inexperienced there are a lot of mistakes that can be made and they usually result in a fubar'd reciever.

Have you thought about re-boring the barrel into .35 Whelan?
