    Gunsmithing 338 LM on a Rem 700

    Can a Rem 700 bolt face be opened up enough to handle the 338 Lapua Mag? I am pretty sure the 700 is available in 338 LM but it looks like there would be a very small rim around the edge. If anyone has a Rem 700 in 338, could you please post a picture of the bolt face? Thanks

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 safety removal

    Is there any trick to removing the safety and bolt release from a Remington 700 trigger? I dont want to break anything. Before anyone makes a comment about not removing the safety. It is to be used on a non-remington action that does not allow the use of the safety or bolt release.
