Is this 700 Bolt Wear Normal?

[dixieppc]

I think the grinding was done after it left the factory, otherwise the "blueing" would still be on it.

No, I believe the bolt housings are blued before the bolt components are fitted, ie. firing pin assembly, extractor and ejector. No firm knowlege that it is, just how I think the process progresses.

Action screws will only hit the outside dia of the lug which by the only picture of the side of a lug you can see it hasnt hit

What could of made the the gouge in the bottom lug in the last two photos? You clearly see the lug has a big gouge to me the metal is pulled foward on the lug . Larry

Its an anti bind rail

The machining burr left at the end of the guide rail notch that eww1350 pointed out also reflects the shoddy work done at the factory which gives more credit to the possibility that the extractor rivet grinding was in fact done at the factory.

Early 90's 700 SA Bolt -
Well machined guide rail notch. Also, this bolt has a rivetless extractor and the ejector has been removed.

And you thought that was made by an action screw?

 

[akajun]

to the OP. When and where did you buy this rifle? Remington has not used the riveted extractor in quite a few years.

Maybe the form's self-proclaimed elitists will step in and share their vast well of knowledge with the great unwashed instead of laughing down their nose at those trying to understand and learn. As a charter member of the great unwashed, I have found parts of this discussion educational.

I bought it a little less than a year ago at Cabela's in CO. It was brand new in the box. It's the 'Remington 700 Long Range' model. I'm going to give Remington a call this AM to talk over my issues, although I don't have high hopes...

I believe all magnum bolts still have a riveted extractor.

Are you serious about not seeing one without guide rails? Serial # 254***

 

[b-harvin]

Well, just got off the phone with Remington. Looks like you guys were right about the sloppy grind job. I was told that was "normal" on this model. And all extractors are riveted on the Long Range model. I guess you get what you pay for.

Now, is it worth getting a new/custom bolt? Besides the hack grind job is there anything hindering accuracy?

Yes I'm serious, but want to see Larry's. Yours is irrelevant, but I guess thanks for sharing !

That's sad.

Early 700's do not have the anti bind feature.
