crimp or not to! Take a new or resized brass ,no bullet seated,loosen your lock ring on the die and back off the die several turns,also the seating stem,run your ram up to top of stroke with the brass in the shell holder,screw the die down till you feel it contact the brass,back it off a turn...

peep/receiver sight the early ones all came with this option

my take Most all if not all new remingtons i have bought have some copper or powder residue in the barrel.But i saw that ad and wondered why a muzzle brake would have been installed on a "new take off "that doesn't come factory with one.Unlike you,i didn't bid on them!!

let me jump in here !! I think the non locking safety was added about 1980 or so,but you have an older rifle as it has no letter in front of the serial #.I don't know what the U is,as i don't think it's part of the barrel code,nor is the 97.I agree with butch as i think it was made or at least...

fl die set-up If your shell holder and your bottom of die will allow a sheet of paper in that space even if it's a bit snug,you need to screw your die down a tiny bit,this may push your shoulder back a bit more than benchrest set-up,but hey we are working with a fatory chamber correct,and...

try russ haydon He's listed on the home page, he usually will sell one to many pices of brass,if he has any lapua in stock,he may have some unprimed remington,and if he has any norma get a couple of those.I had a remington chamber 6br that would work fine with norma,and laupa would...

jim? Was the sps barrel a matte c.m.?I have had really good luck with the ss bores,not saying how they shoot,but the bores are much better than the c.m. ones.I think rem. hammer forges the barrels?,but i really believe the ss ones are button as they look really different than the c.m. on the...

date on your rifle Dennis,according to my book it was made in aug. 1963,and the 5 referes to an employee sale?The barrel dates don't always match the year the receiver was made,but pretty close

varminyguy and matches Drover,i think in some of varmintguys earlier ramblings,he attended a or some benchrest matches as a spectator only,maybe he will make that clear without a personal attack on you.:)

no problem here :):)You can get the sealent off the pull wt. screw without heat,but not the sear and overtravel screws,they need torch heat.I have three of them and got a good trigger without messing with anything but the pull wt.There is a guy in calif. that sells new springs for them,get...

alan,you sure on that neck size for a .308?? n/t

hey keith !! The trigger wt. screw only has sealent on the top of the screw,but the other two are inside the threads.I have been able to scrape off the sealent on the pull wt. on the three i did and turn the screw.You may have to bump the screw back and forth till it breaks loose,the other...

no address but phone number (928)684-3255, hope that's still a good number?

longer ejector pin fix What a good friend did on his 221 f.b. was to file a bit deeper in the ejector pin notch so that it protruded up in the bolt face more.Don't know but he said it ejected better for him??

wilbur,don't worry about fixing the smile function After reading some of these guys posts about politics,they don't seem to need it !!

ditto on glen's method I set mine up the same way,but have not noticed the entire spindle moving around on mine,maybe you didn't have the nut tight enough.Forster says the washer helps to let the expander self center,the older dies didnt have it,but the later models do,i couldn't see any...

wipe out One thing you may try is do some cleaning with Butch's ,S/C or whatever to get a lot of the powder fouling out so the copper is exposed,and i leave it in the barrel for 12 to 24 hr.Course that won't work if you need to shoot in a short time.

yep,listen to R.G you have your expander ball too high on the decapping stem.

roger on that The last 722/721 had the barrels with no rear sight boss,same barrel they used on the 725,for people that haven't seen a 725,they had a hinged floorplate,nice cut checkering,grip cap,monte carlo stock(no cheekpiece)and the safety is like no other 721/722/700,has a half safe...

guys that's not a 725 safety that is a safety /lever off the early 700's.
