Remington 700 firing Pin Questions?

Re: Remington 700 firing Pin Questions?

My understanding is that it's a safty to keep kids from being able to chamber a round. I believe if you buy a new shroud and pin it will replace all that and increase lock time

I swapped out the J lock FP assembly with a Brownells unit. Quality piece. Thicker pin, and a "straight" spring as opposed to the squiggly factory spring. Nice blued shroud too.
Brownells says it is a factory replacement part. I recommend it.
