I've done Gentry's on Mauser's and If I had to guess it's the same for 700's. it's just grinding or milling an angle on the front side of the cocking piece for the safety to engage just like a Mauser or M70.

A hole must be drill for the safety lock when the safety is full engaged , and another 'detent hole' made for the shroud latch that prevents over rotation of the shroud when the bolt is full open. Both must be precisely placed, along with alterations to the cocking piece so the safety lever can be operated into position to block the cocking piece/firing pin when the safety is applied. Get it right the first time, as there is no second chance without it being sloppy.
 
Thanks for the response, but I'm looking for somebody to do it. It is a lot more profitable for me to be assembling rest tops and sending them than to say I did the safety myself.
Walt, I don't understand your post. I want the firing pin locked and not the trigger. I've had Remington's fire when the safety was moved from off to firer. It ain't funny. No, it wasn't a trigger that had been fu@ed with.

I have had to work on a lot of M70s where the safety lever either would not move, or as you describe, the gun would fire as the safety was moved to fire. Try this test: apply a three position safety, pull the trigger, release the safety. If the gun fires oops! After the trigger was pulled, the bar that catches the firing pin is no longer held. You really need the whole system to work right. I think a locked trigger is an easier system to keep working right. An empty chamber is the best safety.

Walt, I don't know about the M70 and how efficient they are, just the Remington.
