Gunsmithing Quick question on Remington trigger pins...

[BigBrother]

I recently removed the trigger on my 700 for tuning. When I popped out the trigger pins, I made a mental note that the longer one went in the front (closer to muzzle). But I recently read somewhere that the longer one goes in back.

I am 99% sure I remember it correctly, but no diagram seems to show which goes where.

This is with an X Mark Pro from about 2008, if it makes a difference.

Thanks!

Longer one in the rear, holds the bolt release lever.

+1, long one in front wouldn't go in all the ways anyway, it would hit the bolt release.

Time to up the Gingko biloba!

I was doing it in a rush to ship it out, guess I remembered it wrong.

Thanks all!

You'll figure it out real fast when you don't have enough pin to hang the bolt realease on. Long in back as the others have said.
