I recently traded my Hankins prefit Rem 700 Brux barrel with HIS ignition system to a guy that wants to use the barrel on his 700ML action. If I’m am thinking through this correctly all he needs to do is get a 209 breech plug from Jeff and he should be good to go right? His 700ML action has the 209 bolt nose.
Appreciate the help.

Been wondering about this myself, as I have a primo 700ml that could be a project

The tenon is much longer for the 700ML action, it goes all the way back flush with the receiver. The 700 barrel would have to be threaded longer to make it work, I don't think it's a simple conversion unfortunately...

The Woodman Arms ajustable 209 bp i think is the one to use for a 700ml conversion . Regardless of screw wear or 209 dimmensions headspace with .004 crush can be maintained even with a shouldered barrel . Tested to 60k psi before primer buldgeing occured as well . Made from 17-4 stainless the plug is like jewelry to look at . Comes with a .035 bushing . My friend says its extremely clean in use . Its a Dandy !!!

It will NOT work! 700 ML requires a shoulder along with a recoil lug. Your prefit does not have that.

You just got that thing done not long ago why are you cannabelizing it ?? I hunt woods so really don’t have any need for a long range SML. I thought it would be the perfect build but it was just sitting in the safe. The money tied up in it can be put to better use elsewhere.

As a side note: The 700 ml doesn’t have lugs that lock - that’s a real safety concern if things went south. I played the game with a few 700 ml and glad I didn’t experience a failure. Also -the bolt channel will wear with use so keep it lubed. I recommend running a rifle bolt action w smokeless. Or keep the 700ml for traditional blackpowder hunts. Best wishes

The trade fell through since this barrel wouldn’t work with his action. Back up for sale.

I had a 700 ml converted to a savage style breach plug and bolt face and was wondering if this has made my gun stronger? It doesn't have locking lugs but the bolt handle does lock down.

No. Strong enough? More than likely IF the barrel was also replaced. Locking lugs give many shooters "peace of mind" knowing that the CF locking lugs give more strength of safety. When people were blowing up their 10MLII's, there were many photos on the net showing the destroyed rifles. Several showed the barrel ripped open clear back to the breech plug. However, I never saw one which the breech plug area failed. I shoot my converted 700ML with confidence.

Send a pic of your converted savage bolt face. I’ve done every possible combo on 700ml and have never seen one converted to a savage bolt face. Unless your talking about the savage muzzleloader only bolt face that holds 209 primers ?

The bolt face is completely replaced with an end that holds the 209 primer and the breach plug is the same as the savage.

The barrel works good the way it is. Don't worry about me, I have life insurance with Jesus Christ mutual life.✝️
