REMINGTON 700 PROBLEMS

[Hernan]

Hola, desde Argentina, tengo una Remington 700 (RR) con un problema en el extractor primario, y no hay muchos armeros buenos aquí en Argentina. El rifle tiene ese problema. Mi pregunta es: ¿qué opinas de esta reparación con soldadura TIG?

Wut?

What is your opinion on this forum about filling the receivers with TIG, like in the video?

 

[Mike Casselton]

The standard solution is to reposition and silver solder the bolt handle into the correct location

If you decide to have the receiver welded instead, you better be sure the person doing the work has a thorough understanding of the camming surfaces and how they work with each other.

He has primary extraction issues and doesn't have a competent gunsmith in Argentina that can fix it.

I recommend finding a welder that can do it this way:

I see several options.
One is to silver solder the handle in the proper position, which requires a jig.
The best thing about that is, if you mess it up, it's not permanent.

Second, you can silver solder it AND add a flush grub screw as insurance.

Third, TIG weld it, but you better have a very good welder, the stock remington handles are cast. You COULD buy a new bolt handle made from stainless steel.

Fourth, you can buy a new bolt, but that requires knowledge and tools as well. https://macbros.com/remington-700-replacement-bolt/
