Thread: New (RemArms) Remington Rifles...

Are there any other brands that say bolts will be interchangeable between different guns ?

I doubt any production maker would offer interchangeable bolts simply due to liability should anything go wrong. No one else does it, so it would entirely be on the maker to prove it's safety...

One of the things I hated with the later production guns was the bloody awful Xmarkpoo trigger with the smooth slippery as crap blade. It was just awful in design (weak as crap with the screw through the blade) and nothing to stop the trigger finger slip sliding all over it. Worst feeling trigger I've ever used absolutely dreadful. No redeeming features at all, it couldn't even be set to a pull weight that it would stay at. I remain amazed that that trigger alone didn't kill off Remington forever!

If it was me in charge, I would have abandoned trigger production and done a deal with a 3rd party like Timney and gone from there as a major advertising and selling point. Primary extraction issues are one thing, a non-concentric bore is the same provided the hole is straight but a garbage trigger is a total show stopper for me. And I liked M700's...
