Gunsmithing Stock Remington 700

[BornLifted]

Noob question here guys and gals, neighbor bought a new TriggerTech diamond trigger to upgrade in his stock Remington 700 action, but it doesn’t have a bolt release. Are those triggers specifically made for custom actions or is there a work around for a bolt release. Thanks in advance.

Bolt release can be removed from TriggerTech but not added...
Tried to repurpose Primary off of Bergara on Rem 700...
No Joy

Thank you for your response. So we both have zero experience with custom actions, do most of them have a built into the action bolt release? Allowing the use of a trigger with no bolt release?

Put Diamond on the Bergara... I’m good ?

Most aftermarket actions will have a side bolt release. The work around for a rem 700s bottom release to run the diamond is is to have the side stop added or to forgo it all together or to pick a different trigger that has one.

Pretty easy to sell the one you got, and order one with the bolt release.

TT doesn't list the Diamond w/boltstop on their website. I've bought quite a few of their triggers over the past year, and am very pleased with the ones I have on my rifles. I put primary & special triggers on a couple of custom M700s, and have a couple of Diamonds on Vudoo V-22s. Like 'em all, but especially the Diamonds on the V-22s. You should have no trouble selling the Diamond for what you paid for it, and getting a Special to replace it. Hasn't been that long ago that there was a fairly long waiting list for the Diamonds - bet you won't have any problem selling it.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. I think he’s going to build a custom gun to match the trigger! Ha kind of like a reloaded buying/building a gun to match the dies he accidentally bought. Thanks all.

I think I’ve got a bolt release from a trigger tech laying around if you want it. Let me know
