Remington 700 trigger recall

[fireweed]

anyone have their rifle trigger fixed via sending to Remington?  How long does it take?

[jaredwitman]

I am also curious... I've been putting it off for awhile now.

I sent 2 in...took about 2-3 months.  My trigger seems stiffer after I got my gun back (its the xmp adjustable and it seems the lower end adjustment doesn't go as low as it did prior to repair)...so now I am thinking I may just put a timney trigger in anyways

Mine took over 3 months, and they scuffed up my gun.
I was indeed PO'd, have not shot it in yet as now I am having troubles with scope remounting and Leupold magnification dial not wanting to turn properly
I will have to also get new rings most likely a change from vertical to horizontal

Mine also took close to 3 months. I have only shot it once since and it seems to be fine.

Did you guys send it to Remington, or to one of their authorized warranty centers? (If I'm not mistake that was one of the options)

I would just spend the money and buy a 510 timney and put it in. They are much better triggers I have done that to the last 2 700's I have bought. Even though only 1 was under recall.

What would that cost? Installed.

Timney 510 runs right about $115 IIRC from when I got mine a few months back. Install is only 2 drift pins after taking the action out of the stock, so maybe 10 minutes.

   If you get it from joe bob outfitters it's 120.00 with free shipping and you can add a free t shirt to your order as well

Oh and like said it's a very easy drop in fit. All you need is a punch 1/16" or 1/8" depending on your bolt release spacing and a hammer. You slide the 2 slave pins out. not all the way just enough to drop the factory trigger. Then line up the timney and hammer the 2 pins back into place. The bolt relase you might have to tweak a little. Just use needle nose pillars tell it moves the release up and down properly. Really easy and about 10 mins. Just make sure you don't drive the pins in to far to where you relase the bolt stop spring or pound the other in to far to lock up the bolt release. There is a few videos out there you can watch as well if you would like to see it done first.

I have no gunsmithing experience whatsoever...although it sounds simple, is there something I could mistakenly do that would make the gun unsafe? Or am I better off paying somebody to do it?

[jasnt]

Its a pretty simple task. If I can do it anyone can.  There is some YouTube videos on it

[fishnate]

I sent the wifes in got it back pretty quick took about three weeks. Hardest part was figuring out the shipping.

The best place for a stock Remington trigger is the garbage.  Drop a Timney in there and you will be very happy.
