THis may all sort out but I'll just post what happened on my current build.
a. Got a terrific deal on a Remington 700 barreled action. Asked specifically and was told it was a complete barreled action with complete bolt and trigger.
b. 2 Month wait and considering the times, okay nothing to fall over board about. However
what arrived at my FFL was a Remington 700 barreled receiver with nothing on it. A naked empty bolt was included which has no serial # to match Serial # on receiver. A spare parts bolt ...brand new and totally empty. No bolt stop or spring...no pins : receiver is totally devoid of anything on it and as said the bolt is an empty bolt body
c. Raised 19 July to PT&G, I am awaiting resolution. I am concerned this bolt is not head spaced to this barrel as I very much doubt Remington sells barreled actions with bolts not head spaced. If PT&G sends all the missing parts, I may be into a gunsmith bill to get the headspace sorted out.
d. Have been into builds before and did expect a few twists and turns but I was totally taken by surprise when I opened the box at my FFL dealer.
e. First time buying from PT&G. I want to believe they'll do right on all of this. I'll certainly post what happens pro or con as soon as possible. In the interim: Be relentless with questions to PT&G to make sure what you order is what ends up in your lap. I was very anal in doing so but here I am...naked and alone today. I could use some LOVE from PT&G !! Lol.
