New Caldwell aluminum firing assembly for 700. Look at the spring on the old J-Lock. Yuck. Before and after pics. Will be coated to match when ARPredatorHunter coats entire gun to match the stock. Just waiting on my Wyatts DMB for it and then she goes out...

Remember to take pics when it snaps in half like mine did.

Re: The REASON J-Locks SUCK

if the rifel is new remington would have sent you a new deal for free.bought a 22-250 last yesr with a J-key and the spring was the same as yours.called them and they sent me one with out the J-key.even came with flute's down the fireing pin.and boy did it help out with the accuracy.went from 1.5 to .300 at 100 with the same load.

I switched out my J lock too, but I used an all steel unit from Brownells. Gun runs great.
