Hole in side of receiver

[Narf]

Does anyone know what this hole is for?

 

[Lunchbox27]

Given there is no rail, maybe they drilled/tapped for a scope mount? Neither of my 700’s have that.

Bubba the gunsmith was here

Looks like someone wanted a pull type bolt release, but, I don't think it's in the correct place.

 

[Mike Casselton]

Like this.

 

[DukeGSP]

that would be a no for me dawg

 

[jmar]

Maybe drilled out for an iron sight base?

 

[supercorndogs]

A pull type bolt stop to replace the one that is no longer on the trigger. Right in that area is where the stock bolt stop, stops the bolt, just in front of the front trigger pin.

I'm more curious about the pin(?) that's on the bolt shroud, I've never seen that before. Possibly a safety of some sort?

Ted can certainly design something better than that.

Nope. Aperture sight bases have three to four small holes in a horizontal row.

Hi,

That is the new bolt stop barricade stop designed to provide rock solid barricade support while allowing RO at PRS events to help you make sure your bolt is open

Sincerely,
Theis

Bench rest matches require the bolt to be removed unless shooting. When shooting the screw keeps the bolt in place. BR shooters do not have extra parts on their triggers. Bolt extraction pieces, safeties etc.

Google pic of an installed Sinclair bolt stop mentioned above.

 

[JakeM]

Its for a bolt stop.
