[QUOTE="Boehlertaught, post: 2596437, member: 14520"] With the stock and the bolt trashed there is little left. Particularly since he has 2K rounds through it...the 6.5 x 284 wears out barrels really fast. It's not uncommon to see changes in accuracy in less than 1000 rounds. Actually, there's a chance throat erosion messed up the head space and caused the blowup. If this receiver was mine I would rebuild it using only the receiver. And only after the receiver past a really thorough tolerance check by a gunsmith I really trusted. [/QUOTE]
