Removal of Rem. 700 Trigger?
« on: February 27, 2009, 09:02:40 AM »
I plan on replacing my Dads stock trigger with a Rifle Basix on his Rem 700. I was reading in the Technical Information about removing the stock trigger. It says:

Installation Tips
Remington receivers are “staked” on the underside beneath the mounting pins, after the factory triggers
and pins have been assembled. These mounting pins are not meant to be removed. Pins must be DRIVEN
out in order to remove. DO NOT re-install these pins until they have been re-fitted to the receiver. The pins
may be chucked in a drill motor (like a drill bit) and reduced in diameter with 320 wet or dry sandpaper until
they can be easily tapped into the receiver. Do not attempt to install any replacement trigger until, and
unless, these mounting pins have been pre-fitted to the receiver FIRST.
Anyone ever changed one before? I have worked on Savages but not a Rem. What about these pins? I haven't got the new trigger yet, I'm sure there will be more detail on if I re-use these pins or discard them.. Like I read on the same site:

1) Remove bolt from receiver and remove barreled action from stock. It’s a
GOOD idea to take a photo of the bolt
stop return spring and safety parts BEFORE removing! Remove safety parts, bolt stop release, etc. Drive out
factory mounting pins and discard. Remove trigger.
I am getting the LV-1 Replacement Trigger.

I have used one of my Jewell triggers in 3 different 700s and have always re-used the pins and again when reinstalling the original trigger.

I installed the Rifle Basix trigger and it went well. The Rem is somewhat different than the Savage but wasn't a big deal. The kit comes with pins to replace the old ones. I would have had to sand some off the original pins to re-use them as Remington triggers are made to not come out,  The new RB is sweet, comes pre set at 10oz. and that's where I left it, No Creep at all. Can't wait the Shoot it. This is on a target rifle.
