I have a Marlin XL7 and I would like to know if any one has done a Savage barrel install on the Marlin receiver. I have tried to contact Sharpshooter Supply about the rebarrel and no one has given me an answer. I suppose they just stay too busy.
I understand that the bolt face depths are different between Savage and Marlin with the Marlin having the deeper bolt face. Seeing as this diference between the two may cause a headspace issue my questions are as follows: Did the barrel need to be recessed or was there an issue with headspace at all. Has any one done the swap?
If so, any information would be nice.
I apologise if I am bringing up a worn out topic.
Thanks again, William C.
