REMINGTON 700 SPECIFICATIONS

Question

A customer bought a used and well worn Remington 700. He simply wants it gone through and any part that doesn’t meet factory specs he wants replaced. Simple enough except that I don’t have the spec to look at. Where can I get a copy of them?

Answer

Specs on what?? Just go thru and make sure all the safety concerns are covered, headspace, the manual safety works correctly, the trigger works and is safe, check the chamber for defects, check the bore. Although not a safety issue you want to check the feeding and the bedding. Once you are sure it is safe test fire it. Shoot it twice, give one shell to the owner and keep one and log it in an envelope with all the pertinent info on the envelope, i.e. repair tag number, customer name, date, make, model and serial number etc. etc. When you test fire it check the extraction and ejection make sure they are adequate.
