Hey guys I just started lifting weights, and haven't since high scool. I'm 26 now. How long does it typically take before you up the weight? For example, I've been doing arms and chest every other day for about two weeks. I'm comfortable going up in weight on everything except biceps. Still...
I already did that. Still creep in the trigger. I feel like the trigger is missing a part. On the xmark there is a spring that returns the trigger to the proper position to the sear each time but not on this older style one. The trigger just wobbles back and forth when the bolt is open. Make sense?

Just got an old style remington 700 trigger and didn't realize before I got it that the safety doesn't fit newer actions. Do most people just dremel that off? Sorry, I'm new to this platform hope that's not a dumb question. I searched but nada.
I think it was too short to begin with, yes. The bedding isn't more than 1/16 of an Inch which tells you how much thread it had in. It's a factory screw though and a b&c stock.
Just bedded my stock and it was just enough extra thickness that the screw grabbed but when I torqued it down I ripped a thread out.. Option? Chase the threads, get longer front action screw?
Alright, getting ready to apy bedding compound. Bored out a hole in my vise blocks for an improvised barrel vise. Got everything coated in release agent, an the barrel centered up with tape. Wish me luck, first bedding job!
From what I could tell the action screws were still centered but I may enlarge them just for piece of mind. I was able to get the barrel perfectly centered by taping the barrel and it hardly raised the action at all. The bedding block is probably just off center 1/16 or so. I'm going to relieve...
Hmm. The only thing i dont get is that the barrel is crooked even without the action screws in.. I can slide the action as forward and aft as it will go and its still off center. That's what led me to believe it was just the bedding block that was slightly off center.
I'm in washington. I'm not too worried about resale. I've already roughed it up in preparation for bedding, so I'm just going to bed it since I already have the compound. I'll get it straightened out as much as i can and then leave it be.
Ah ok. Yeah I don't think its the screw holes though because if I press down on the rear tang without any action screws in, the barrel is still crooked. Its not the the recoil lug causing it either because I can slide the action forward and aft and rotate side to side and the barrel is still off...
Can you repeat that a little more clearly hah? What about where the rear tang goes? I'm not sending it back, there's a 9 week wait to have it fixed. It doesn't affect accuracy so like I said above, I was already going to bed it.
Haha. Well I was going to bed it anyway because the aluminum bedding block has high spots and it's rubbing finish off the barrel. So, using tape I got the barrel centered and the action screws go in fine. Time to get my hands dirty.
Ok so here's my plan.. Hog out about a 1/16 on the sides of the action, tape two spots on the barrel until it's centered so when I tighten the action screws it's doesn't move when I bed it. Sound good?
Yeah their customer service wasn't great. So.. I basically have to lift the barrel about 1/16 of an inch or so and I can get the barrel centered. So bedding should work right? Just tape the barrel in a few places until it's centered so when I tighten the action while bedding it doesn't move...
