Remington 600 trigger swap to 700?

[lycanthrope]

I'm considering rebuilding one of my 600's into a lightweight mountain rifle. Was thinking a McMillan CF stock with a short Proof barrel. Since the McMillan can be cut for the standard ADL bottom metal does anyone know if the 600 trigger can be swapped out for a 700? The 700 trigger will fit, but it sits too far back in the 600 trigger guard in the factory stock.

I know Timney makes a 600 trigger, but I have several 700 triggers (including a Timney) gathering dust.....and I really want another Jewell.

I always thought they were different, but never tried to fit one to the other. Looking for the answer too!

they are not the same. I do not remember what the difference is, but I remember wasting a bunch of time trying to make/find out if it would work

A while back I cut the trigger on one of mine and moved it to the right location, and silvered it back together, never has a problem doing it..

The 600 has a shorter rear tang. The rear tang screw keeps you from using the 700 triggers. The 600 screw hits the back of the 700 style trigger housing.

My 700 trigger seems to work OK after a little tweaking..
