Pre-fit barrels with Christensen Arms action receiver
- Thread starter ScottWI44

Pretty sure there aren't any shouldered prefits. Can't see why a nut wouldn't work, or pick a smith, let him measure your action, and you can have shouldered prefits from them forever.
Buddy of mine just had one re barreled w/ a Proof blank by Stumpies Guns in Swansboro, NC.
Hope this helps!

I’m bot sure what your goal is. You can call Christensen and have them rebarrel it. It’s about $850.
Because the factory barrels are shit.
I bought a CA barreled action. I have a few REM 700 pre fits and was just wondering if anyone has tried to screw on a pre fit onto a CA action.
Yeah, I e been asking everyone and can’t get a definite answer. I know I can spin a blank on but just curious about the prefit.
This might help- seems like others have confirmed normal Rem action threads… should be able to take a Remage prefit with a nut.

Christensen Arms Receiver/Action threads
Does anyone happen to know what pitch and/or pattern Christensen uses for their receiver threads for barrels? I know their actions are a Rem 700 clone but I couldn't find that specific info either on Google or searching here. I've emailed them directly but haven't gotten a reply....thanks

I was looking to get a remage style barrel made and one of the options was an m16 style extractor cut, anybody know if that’s needed for a CA Model 14 action?
Does your bolt have an M16 extractor? Search some pics of bolts if you don't know the difference. Without M16, counterbore is around 0.71 and with M16, 0.735-0.785, my 700 barrel is cut 0.75 for an LRI extractor.
Thanks for the info. I still have the factory barrel so I measured it at 0.735 counterbore. I appreciate your help!
Unless CA kept the timing and spacing well documented and consistent through the entire run of actions, you can't just screw on any barrel that fits another 700 footprint action - There is a reason that barrels are offered for different R700 actions, like the Fuzion and the defiance - Each is going to have different spacing and thread starts.
As mentioned above, you can have a smith measure your action and spin barrels for you all day for that action, or you can buy an action that has documented measurements and prefits available (i.e. lone peak, defiance, AI, etc).
Black Canyon Customs in Denver, CO will measure your action and send you prefits for your action, they do a fantastic job.
