Gunsmithing Remington old rigger vs- new x- pro

[30-378]

Alright guys and girls here in lyes the question.

Can you use the safety off the new x-pro and use it on a old style factory remy or shieln trigger.

I have the triggers but dont want to mess w/ it if you can do it. And is it a pain in the ass to do?????

no, you cannot use the safties interchangably, the old trigger can not be retrofitted with the new lever and vice versa, two different animals

The safety lever is different, you can't interchange them.

Ok I get the new vs old remy trigger.. cant use the saftey.

But what about on the shilen trigger can I use it for that? Or should I just buy a new trigger with the saftey??????

The only pieces/parts that you will re-install are;
the pins to hold the trigger group in the action.
The bolt stop & torsion spring.

Thanks guys... I just went ahead and ordered a Timney. Scraped the idea after all the good feed back.

I have had good results using the Rifle Basix L-1 and LV-1 using the Rifle Basix safeties on them.

i had a question about this myself: I recently got a remington 700 SPS (.308) and the trigger pull is quite hefty, easily at 4-5lbs. I want it down to 2lbs and definitely don't feel confident enough to do the work myself despite the numerous internet tutorials. What is a fair price a gunsmith should be charging for doing this adjustment??

Hey Spiegel I had the same issue. Really its simple there is one allan screw on the front of the trigger. I just did mine the other night. Never messed with the trigger thing prior..its simple had it done and the gun back together in half hour. Just google Remington x-pro trigger adjustment and it will come up. I found it to be a great help. Just make sure to test it porperly for slam firing, bounce it off the ground a few times, take a rubber mallet bang round the action.
