I need a Remington expert....
Hello all,
I Just purchased a New In Box Remington Model Seven in 308 with the factory Laminated stock. After a complete disasembly and a good cleaning/degreasing I put it back together and noticed a problem.
After the front and rear action screws were snugged down
the floor plate seemed hard to latch and is bending a bit when closed,
I am no gunsmith But feel the Front section of the floorplate Frame
where the front action screw goes sits too deep in the stock,I noticed
this after i loosened the front actionscrew a bit and then she closed fine.I experimented a bit and put a steel washer under the front
action screw for a bit of height and it was perfect.But this Fix seems a bit cheezey and Feels sort of like a splinter in my toe[xx(]
Whats the right thing to do here?[?]

Looosen both action screws. Then AFTER you bounce it hard on the butt pad,..start to slowly tighten the rear screw only 1/2way. Now,..bounce the rifle on the butt pad again. Slightly tighten the front screw 1/2way. Apply a heavy pressure on the top of the action near the front and continue to tighten the front screw. Now go back and tighten the rear some more. Torque up the front screw and then the back. You may have a tight spot in the recoil lug recess. This is good if you can get a firm torque and good fit. Your internal dimensions on the stock inletting may be great. Just apply top pressure to the action while tightening.
why chase the game when the bullet can get em from here?....

The simplest things are often the easiest to overlook. After 26 years as a gunsmith, I too have to double check to see if the magazine body is completely inserted into the floorplate assembly. My 2 ct.

I agree,
Pull off the stock and check to see if the mag well sleeve is inserted properly. If it is not, the bolt should be somewhat tight as well, and hard to open. Check it! I am a gunsmith myself of ten years and I have had the same problem.
Hope this is helpful![:)]

If all else fails, build it up with Accuglas and that should remove the toe splinter. [:D]
