    Barrel swap with a S&W 37

    R. Ball's Mauser Military Rifles of the World

    Rebarreling a Remington 700

    Not without a lathe you don't. Barrel shank must match receiver depth and so that barrel shank may have to be turned down (or extended). If you take the two weeks of Machining at Trinidad Summer NRA school, I think you may be doing that in the 2nd week.

    Just got my NRA ballot

    I went by what Jeff Knox (Neal Knox's som) recommended: https://firearmscoalition.org/author/jeff/ I generally trash the ballot but since WLP has been spanked, decided to vote. I don't go by who the board recommends. So vote only for the four recommended by Jeff.
