Gunsmithing Jewell trigger woes

Re: Jewell trigger woes Carefully filed out the roughness down smooth... Reinstalled. Still sticking. This trigger was not 100% right out of the box. Took some bending on the bolt release to get it in the groove on the bolt stop. And to be honest, seems to have quite a bit of creep which I...

Gunsmithing Bolt won't cock

Re: Bolt won't cock Never said I oiled the trigger. It was fine, it was the bolt locking up. Stripped the bolt down, cleaned it, light oil, back together = problem gone. Did nothing with the trigger besides install it and adjust it.

Gunsmithing Bolt won't cock

Re: Bolt won't cock Just took the bolt apart (thanks lowlight for the vid: http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/...t-tools-233798/ ) I have no clue why, but it was filthy inside. Left a thin coat of CLP and put it back together. Good to go now

Gunsmithing Bolt won't cock

Re: Bolt won't cock If I take the rifle down, put it back together then it is fine for a bit longer. Anything I can do to check this, or would it be under Remington warranty?
