I build rifles for a living. I have been doing this for 18 years. I use mostly Remington 700 actions. Law enforcement rifles are a large portion of my business.
Looking at an ADL rem 700 synthetic stock rifle with J lock. It is cstated by seller to not be an sps, but I have found some ADL's were made after Remington started heavy beadblasting like the SPS POS actions that are rough as a cob inside and out.
Anyone know if a G prefix ( serial number, I don't have the bbl #) remington 700 ADL which it seems was discontinued in 2005, with J lock, would be the dull finish, or have the heavy beadblasting like an SPS has? Every SPS I have owned needed lapping compound to smoothen the bolt . I fear this ADL is the same finish as my son's G prefix SA remington, but hoping the ADL's were of a different finish. I believe my son's was a SPS restocked in a B&C stock.
Thanks
Allen
