    Rem 700 action?

    Curious if there is a period that the 700 actions were made that are more desirable than the other years? Wondering if I need to stay away from any years while aquiring one for a build.

    Gunsmithing Live round stuck in chamber ~ AR 10

    Re: Live round stuck in chamber ~ AR 10 Sounds like you've been given several possibilities. Listing to them all, it sounds like the easiest would be to pull a bullet from a loaded round and then chambered the empty case. That seems like the quickest way to tell where to focus your efforts.
