Hi all,

Is there anyone in Canada who has built, or regularly does build, take down/switch barrel bolt rifles on common commercial actions like M98’s, M70’s, M77’s etc.? I am not talking about barrel nut style pseudo-switches but a ‘proper’ take down that requires no, or simple tools and that headspaces automatically on reassembly.

Think along the lines of Dakota Traveller where the action is machined to accept a slide in barrel shank into which the bolt locks, or these here http://www.randyscustomrifles.com/take_down_rifles.html where there is a means of consistently heads pacing the threaded barrel?
 
Not that I'm aware of. Those takedowns that Randy makes are awfully nice. Too bad he hadn't the sense to chamber that one in 25-06 and 366 Wagner!
 
I believe Klaus Hiptmayer in Eastman Quebec has built takedown rifles on mauser actions. I have seen photos of at least two takedowns that he built and they were beautiful rifles.
