remington 700 receiver old quality control issue
@ 09:43 pm (GMT) |
Rob Hughes-GamesHi AllI recently picked up a LA 700 with the intention of doing a build on it. Took the factory barrel off to find the receiver lugs are screwed. something slipped at the factory and trying to find any others. What it is is the lugs have a step in them so the bolt is only bearing on the outer part of them. about 1/4 of full contact The action is 20+ years old. serial number is 6598455. If you have an older Remington with a similar date serial it might pay to check the lugs Pics |

Martin TaylorRe: remington 700 receiver old quality control issueThat looks more like a wear issue Rob, lack of lubrication over time and possibly some heavy lapping to begin with.l'm sure they machine them with a square shoulder like where the bolt hasn't run. |

l'm sure they machine them with a square shoulder like where the bolt hasn't run. Sorry Martin but its 100% not wear. The step is 3.2mm deep and 2mm wide.still has bluing on the step. The bolt would have worn down some too if that was the case. |
