Remington safety question
I have a Rem 700 made prior to 1982. The bolt cannot be opened with the safety engaged. I am planning to grind the bolt lock off to allow unloading with the safety on but wanted to make sure I was not creating another problem in the process.
thanks

Grind it off. Won't hurt a thing and will accomplish what you want.

Re: Remington safety question
Thanks. I couldn't see where it would effect anything else but thought I'd ask just to make sure.

Re: Remington safety question
I know of several people who have caught the bolt on brush and opened the bolt while traveling through the thick stuff.

Re: Remington safety question
The rifle in question will be used for hunting by my wife and kids so I would like them to be able to unload with the safety engaged. Accidentally opening the bolt is not a concern at this point.
Thanks

Re: Remington safety question
Doesn't to me as you are solving the Rem. Safety issue? Wife and kids you best consider a new trigger /safety after market.

Re: Remington safety question
I just had the Gentry 3 position safety installed on a Remington 600. I think its a better choice than messing with the existing trigger. Retiring the rifle is another choice, lots of good rifles out there looking for a home. Too much at stake.
