    Remington 700 firing pin problem

    This is a well used Remington 700 with a total of around 7 thousand rounds thru it so I'm not complaining about the rifle, but I was getting some really odd results yesterday. It was piercing primers (which it has never done) and getting light primer strikes during the same day using ammo that...

    Gunsmithing Problem with bolt fit

    Ok I rebedded and pillared an old rifle in a laminated stock and hit the range. Everything went pretty well and shot several 5 shot groups under 3/4" and several 3 shot groups crowding the 1/2" mark. When I was looking the rifle over afterwards I noticed the bolt is hitting the stock. What...

    Gunsmithing DPMS .308 bolt catch pin problem

    I finally got all the parts and pieces to assemble my DPMS .308 SASS. After everything was put together, my bolt catch lever wouldn't depress and lock the bolt back. The DPMS lower takes a hex-head screw instead of the normal AR type roll pin to keep the bolt catch lever in place. Well, I...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 LTR extractor problem

    Hey everyone, I have a remington 700 LTR and I am having problems closing the bolt when I chamber a new round. The back end of the bullet is torn up from the extractor, so I assume it is a problem with the bolt/extractor. Has anyone had this problem before and how did you fix it? Thank you...

    Gunsmithing 22-250 barrel set back with a chamber problem?

    I just had a parker hale 22-250 barrel set back 5/8" to tighten the chamber up. He also faced the chamber lugs a tad where the mauser actions tend to dimple them. I can see where the bolt was marked and timing checked. The problem I have is a new winchester case will chamber, a resized case...

    Gunsmithing Winchester 70 ejec tion problem

    I purchased a Winchester Mod. 70 push feed HV in 223. I'm having a problem with ejection of empty cases. The problem is not the ejector but the extractor. The cases are not held in the extractor long enough to clear the receiver walls to eject' they simply fall into the magazine. Using a dummy...

    Gunsmithing Badger M5 Screw Problem

    I purchased a new Badger M5 from another member who never installed it. I noticed when I tried to mount it that the rear torx bolt was way too long (2"). The front one fits fine. I am fairly confident that these were the ones that originally came from Badger. Could it be just a mix up or am I...

    I took out a SAKO TRG-21 .308 out to shoot today. I went for my third shot. I thought I had chambered a round, but had not. I was using the safety between shots. I clicked the safety off and went for the shot. I got the normal dry fire click, but when I went to open the chamber, the bolt...

    Anschutz 64 ejection problem fixed

    Ejection on my rifle (Anschutz 64 MPR)was very poor, 1/3 of the cases exit properly on the right, 1/3 out the left side, and 1/3 just lay on top of the next shell, regardless of how fast or slow you work the bolt. This seems to be a common problem on this model, and is totally inexcusable on a...

    Remington 5R problem

    I recently sent my 5R off to be dura coated so paint would stick to the stainless. I got it back and wasn't really happy with the results. The finish was thin in spots so you could see the original black of the stock and there was some run over into places I didn't think there should be. No...

    Solving a common accuracy problem on Remington 700

    I have a 700 PSS and the problem I had was I would load up rounds to be 2.80" long to fit the magazine so i can plick with the remmi at the range and have a repeater. Or I would load up rounds to be 2.90" for dead on accuracy, but since the round was too long to fit the magazine, i would have a...
