I have recently had pre-chambered Jarret barrel in .416 Remington Mag barrel mated to a Remington 700 receiver. Our own Redneck did the work and I am happy to say the action functions flawlessly.
I bedded PTG BDL Oberndorf Bottom Metal into a Borden Rimrock stock and find the floorplate pops open on each shot regardless of whether or not there are cartridges in the magazine. I understand this is not unusual with a big boomer.
Can any of you with experience with this sort of issue lead me in the right direction. Stronger latch spring? Cut the latch recess deeper? Open to suggestion before I leap in and Bubba this thing up.
The fix IS a stronger spring. I've noted that issue with the PTG unit before.. Five minutes and you'll be back in business..
If you don't have/can't obtain the right spring, just send the offending BM piece to me and I'll take care of it.. Use the USPS flat-rate small box and it'll be the cheapest method, IYAM..
