[QUOTE="Ol' Red, post: 1913755, member: 107965"] I have been rebuilding automatic transmissions in vehicles for over 39 years for a living. People bring their vehicle in to have it diagnosed and we find it needs a major repair. A common response is" I bought this brand vehicle because they never wear out or break.". Some last 750,000 miles or more and some break early. If it is mechanical it can and will fail eventually. I bought this rifle from a pawn shop over 23 years ago, and it too is on it's second barrel. I agree that a Model 70 trigger is hard to beat, but I drank the Kool-Aid and went with a Timney. Today I will put the old trigger back in and see if the safety function properly. Then decide if I take it to a smith to have the safety matched to the trigger or replace with an original trigger. Thank you for the heads up on Numrich. [/QUOTE]
