REMINGTON 700 ISS LOCK

BHAVIN
I have heard that the new ISS lock on the remington 700 affects the trigger pull? Can anyone verify this and tell me how it affects the trigger pull? If so does replacing the bolt shroud take care of this affect? Thanks Brian.

    BHAVIN,

    As far as I know and I could be wrong, there isn't a 'new' ISS from Remington. In fact the ISS feature has been removed from the current Rem. 700 models. The only model to retain the feature is the worthless 710, I think.

    If you happen to have a model 700 with the ISS feature, just buy new shroud and replace the older one. If you don't want to do this yourself, there are several gunsmiths that will handle it for you.

    Honestly, if I had one of these on a rifle of mine, I would consider it an opportunity to change out the entire firing pin assembly with one of the better assemblies available now. This will get you a new spring, firing pin and bolt shroud all in one fell swoop. The drag from the factory firing pin spring will be eliminated and the entire unit will function better. Just a thought.

    Best.

    NONONSENSE, Thanks for your reply. I mentioned NEW ISS lock as I have one on my new 22-250. I am glad to hear that the ISS lock has been dropped. However my origonal question as to if and how the ISS lock affects trigger pull has yet to be answered? Anyone? Thanks Brian.

    i don't think they affect trigger pull. the triggers in them were adjustable and i never had any problem getting the trigger where i liked it.

    I'm not an expert, but i did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

    Thank you for pointing out the fact that you didn't get a complete answer, which by the way is available in an article at the Remington website. You can locate it by doing a search.

    The 'J'-lock does not affect the trigger pull. End of statement. When you turn the lock, you are rotating a steel pin which ACTS AS A FIRING PIN BLOCK AND IT IS INDEPENENT OF THE TRIGGER AND ITS ADJUSTMENTS. The trigger still has a 3 millisecond actuation time and the trigger can still be adjusted by competent persons to approximately 3 pounds with the 3 screw design of this trigger. Less than this requires more knowledge about triggers and their contact surfaces.

    This is actually the type of safety considered by most to be the best for safe operation. The unfortunate part of this is the design and execution that Remington's engineers chose for this safety.

    Hopefully that's sufficient.

    Thanks for your information. That is what I was looking for. I have n adjusted a number of these triggers with no problems but there seems to be quite a bit of creep in this particular gun with the ISS lock. Thanks for your time.
