Just for information, do you purchase the rail from them or go aftermarket to some place like Murphy Precision?

These still seem to be a great deal.

Rob, since you mentioned the pinned rail; I just used one of these heavy nitrated Classic Defiance action from SPR. It has the 1/8” pins and 8-40 screws.https://www.bugholes.com/Defiance-Classic-rifle-action-p/def-class-sa-308.htm

I think they're the only ones who make a rail for their action.
I used a GA Precision marked Defiance before and they are good actions too.

I use the Speedy method on the hunting guns i leave electors in on, so simple to unscrew barrel. I remove ejectors on my br guns.
What is the purpose of the double ejectors though. I’m usually cutting a coil of of the one spring anyway.

Big magnum cases? I don't have any with the double electors but guess there's always a purpose.

Well, this has been a real clusterf*ck. I ordered it on December 16 or so. Was told it would take about 3 weeks. Have been told several times that I should have it soon, but that hasn't been the case. Right now, it's said to be going back to the nitride place to be redone.
Anyway, 3 weeks is turning into 3 months.
I assume the plan is to use the aftermarket barrel that you already have on the new clone. You need to be aware that many of your options will not work with a 700 tenon. For instance, the Bighorn (I have one) is threaded and the bolt face is such that small thread savage drop ins work. So before you buy anything, I would email the manufacturer to see if your barrel will fit their action. The reference to clone mostly tells you that the action will drop into Remington bedding.
That’s really great the way barrels and chambering jobs cost now.

Heard from Adam today and he said he would discount my order 50% because of the unusually long wait. That was much appreciated.
Can you swap barrels at home?

With shouldered barrels, yes you can
