Im looking to get a sound mod for mine and want to call round to see who has the correct size in stock. Many Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks, Unless something has changed, there isn't a standard thread for the 700 SPS Varmint. Edgar Bros get these cut in the UK so it is what they decide to make "standard"! Being the heavy barrel I would guess a longer thread, but before investing in a mod I suggest a word with Edgar Bros, or any decent RFD should be able to tell the thread by looking!

Vermincinerator Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 For a Varmint barrel its usual to go for a 5/8"x18 UNF or if you prefer metric M16x1. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxon88 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 ok will contact edgar bros, mine came already screw cut. I was also thinkging of possibly having the barrel shortened. Anyone done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve42 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 ok will contact edgar bros, mine came already screw cut. I was also thinkging of possibly having the barrel shortened. Anyone done this? I had an sps varmint in 243 whch i cut down to 20" from 26" Also threaded it 1/2"UNF so i could use the same mod for my 223 , as Ian said in an earlier post varmint barrels normally 5/8"UNF or M16X1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Edgar Bros have been getting many barrels threaded for a while now, but when I got mine they refused to shorted it. I got my SPS about 3 years ago now and there were two in the shop to choose from, both full length barrel but one pre threaded and £50 more expensive. I got the unthreaded one, and cut and threaded the barrel to around 21". Mine is in .308 and standard stainless barrel so 1/2" thread!

Popeye Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 M18x1, m16x1.....did you find out what the "standard" thread size is on the Remy Varmint barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Logic Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Edgar's get them cut 5/8 unf. Had a rem 700 spa tactical, that was the thread. Looked at sps varmint, so was that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
