Rem 700 SA RFBR actions ?

I have a lonestar single shot rbrp in Manners 2A stock (Remington short action footprint), Lilja barrel 26 inch with Jewel trigger.

Hate to ask but ... got a link to where they are sold?

People keep telling Me specific actions are 700 short action compatible but then when I call the manufacturer tells me they aren't.
 
Doesn't help but i got a couple from the CMP back a few years ago. They sold Barreled actions, with no Bolts. And PTG was making Bolts for them. One I put into an Elleiso R1 Stock that i used for Palma Rifle training, the other was a Light Target barrel that I hacked off at 16" Threaded it for a can and turned it into a hunting rifle.
At first i was going to pull the barrel off the Target rifle one, then i said.. I better shoot it first before I do that. Low and behold!! It shoots lights out with the factory barrel. It shot so well I took it to Nationals one year for the Prone Chamionships.
People where tripping over Kevin Neivius gun to see a Tube Gun Rimfire!! LOL.
 
All of the 40Xs Ive ever seen have Remington stamped on the side of the receiver, that should be a clue.

Held one today at Shadd's Deer Farm, fella's son picked it up at a yard sale for $50.00, M40 stock. The action is in real good shape, stock isn't bad. They borescoped the barrel, it has a bad spot in it.

Tell him I'll give him $100 shipped. :)
 
Gene Pitts the guy that ran Manatee for years auctioned off at least 10 over the years to help support the range. I spent $15 on them anytime I shot over there and twice when just driving by. Never did get one, I used to mess with Gene and accuse him of never giving one away and starting a new auction with the same gun over and over. One day another shooter heard me messing with Gene and said his daughter won one. They were USMC guns bought from CMP and looked like they had been dragged behind a truck from my house to yours in the acreage. The guy said after a clean up and lead remover it could probably be competitive in a BR match today.
