Markings on brass neck

Five layers of blue painter's tape closed with tension, six layers did not.

What thickness is the tape? But it doesn't sound that much exsive. Larry

.004. Five layers measured .020 (obviously).

Did you have the firing pin removed so you had a good feel?

Tom

No. I'm not that advanced. How would that affect the bolt closing?

Send it back .020 is too much . Larry

Thanks for your time tonight. The input is appreciated!

Tom is right. Get the tool. I waited too long before I got one. A must for any precision gun. Just my 2 cents. You can use the "dime in the slot" technique but the tool is so much easier. Sorry to hear about your trouble. I have 3 5Rs and they're good shooters with no problems. Good luck.

UPDATE: Remington had me send the rifle off to Ahlman's in Minnesota. They returned it to Remington for additional input. They ended up replacing the receiver and barrel with no real explanation. Must have been something not worth fixing. I guess we start the process all over again.

Thanks for the update. Glad they're making it right.

The 5R is supposed to be a cut above the standard 700. How did this gun ever get out the door?

I can safely say it has not performed any better than my 80's era BDL. We'll see if the new equipment makes a difference.
