REMINGTON SPORTSMAN 78 HOW TO REMOVE BOLT SERIES
JAT's rifle is essentially the same as the "A" prefix series of M700's, (which appeared in mid 1975) and I've listened to a couple gunsmiths claim they are among the straightest actions Remington produced. Introduced in 1974, the anti-bind slot in the bolt, riding on rail on the right side of the receiver, is probably the most significant improvement on M700's, IMO. A lot of the, ah, younger generation aren't aware of all the variations (albeit usually small things) on the M700's over the years. Short, Long, Long Rifle cart- ridges can be used interchangeable without action adjustment in all three models. My 1975 M700's are soldered, my 1978 M700 front sight has two screws, one screw is under the dovetail. The Remington Models 510X, 511X, 512X are 22 Caliber, rim fire rifles of bolt action type. Well I answered one of my own questions, zoomed in and I see the rear sight was screwed on. Can anyone verify this to be true?Īnd are their holes where the rear sight was? Asking because he said all the Remington 700’s he worked on all had screws holding the sights on. It holds three or four cartridges, depending on caliber, and it protrudes below the bottom of the stock. The magazine is a steel, single stack, detachable box. I talked to my smith and he said the front sight should be screwed on, if you remove the bead out of the dovetail it should have a screw under it holding the base on. To remove the bolt, one opens the bolt and slides it back while holding the safety all the way forward. I sent a pm to JAT all so but want to ask in the thread all so.
