rem ml700 50 cal build

[rjhans53]

There are a couple of members here that have have pac nor build a 50 cal for them. Can I get the specs on the barrel, the next part of this is to see if McGowen can build a 50 cal.

I don't personally know of any .50's, there may be some. I am currently working with savage-barrels.com on a standardized barrel/breechplug combo for the 700ML to simplify ordering. As it stands right now I have suggested a contour that will fit the factory stock with some channel work, but some safety factor built in to avoid blowups with an accidental double load. It is the same as a Pacnor #6 but with a .800"min. at the muzzle. The other requirements suggested are Hunters bolt kit, Savage breechplug, and a factory thickness 3/16" (.186") recoil lug. All up for final approval. I'm meeting with Rossman40 to get his input also. I'll post a new thread when I have all the stuff finalized. A .50 should be as simple as ordering it in that caliber and the twist of your choice and maybe bumping that muzzle diameter up to around .850". Or ask for a different contour?

I think "jeff" on this board is a good source.
