Here’s the breakdown, hope someone can help. I bought this Rem 700 off of here a few years back. Blueprinted, PTG bolt with Sako extractor and spiral fluting on the bolt, 2 Proof research barrels and a Chip McCormic trigger. Anyways, here’s where the strange issue started.

It shot well, 1/2 MOA still, but I wanted the heavier steel barrel and had the carbon one pulled and figured I would toss it on later if I ever wanted to hunt with it, it’s mostly used off the bench or prone. Then I had all the metal redone, went to the range and shot even better. I noticed if I ran the bolt hard I started having the sear trip, did some adjusting and it kept happening. So I yanked the trigger and ordered 1.5# Timney and the Timney HIT for my new Bergara B14R. When I pulled the CMC trigger I realized that it’s an all in one unit and I needed the spring and bolt stop, so I ordered one.

Just finished installing it all, functions perfectly, all safety checks done, love this flat trigger over the CMC. But the bolt stop, the piece the goes up into the receiver rides along the fluted bolt just enough that it causes a strange ticking sound as it glides over the flutes. Can I file that down a bit so it stops with the sound and not effect the function. It’s not hurting anything, it’s just mildly annoying. And how much can I take off before it’s an issue?
 
It’s a new bolt stop and not mushroomed. It’s like it protrudes just a bit to far into the receiver. If a push on the bolt release just a hair it no longer makes that sound when I run the bolt.
 
Take a little off, it won't harm a thing . You can mark it with a sharpie to see where the contact is as you go . If it's not a Remington factory release it may just need a little tweaking .

I ordered it from PTG. I think they make their own. Thanks guys, I will will take a bit off.
