Price: 59.99 USD
Availability: InStock

Overview

This receiver-facing cutter and pilot set is designed to square the receiver face for accurizing Remington 700 and AR-15 actions without the need for lathe work. The hardened steel cutter uses twelve 90-degree flutes to help produce an even, smooth cut when paired with Brownells Muzzle Facing & Chamfering T-Handle or a Drill Chuck Adaptor. It is intended for serious rifle work where precise mating to the barrel is the goal, and the included pilot options support use with factory-original Remington 700 receivers. The polished finish and compact cutter-and-pilot format make it a specialized shop tool rather than a general-purpose accessory.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Designed for receiver-facing work on Remington 700 and AR-15 actions, so it is not a general-purpose cutter for broader shop use.
Use requires compatible tooling such as Brownells Muzzle Facing & Chamfering T-Handle or the Drill Chuck Adaptor; it is not a standalone solution.
The .700" pilot is specified for factory-original Remington 700 receivers, which may limit fitment to other receiver setups.
This is a precision shop tool for accurizing work, so it is best suited to users comfortable with receiver-facing procedures and setup.
