Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington three position safety

Never said you hunt in a pen Rick...but doubt you have done much hunting that's "tough" either. Being you're from Oklahoma, I can imagine you have been west a few times.

To refresh your memory,you started this little pissing match by telling everyone that my "words ain't worth a squirt of dog piss" a few months back.....nice way to treat a gawdamned customer.

I guess you didn't like the fact that I'm not in love with a 25/06.

Then you tell me, obliquely,that I don't tell the truth, which is another way of saying I'm a liar. I want you to tell me how, and where on here, I lied? I could not have survived and thrived, as an attorney for 30+ years, if my reputation was that I lie. So I take those accusations pretty seriously.

Once again, please tell me where I lied?

Whilst hunting this morning I thought that I should make a little video of how to disassemble a Remington 700 bolt in the field. All without a dime, table top or shaman.

Of course I've never had the need to disassemble one in the field, but I'll make a video anyways for the Outdoor Life readers that might feel the need to do so betwixt shots at charging brown bears.

I also appreciate the point about hunting with a shotgun with the chamber hot or cold. [bleep] shotguns should have a 3 position safety too.

Only after fumble fingers "gunsmiths" attempt to adjust them and don't take responsibility for their incompetence. Not, all, but the vast, vast majority are improperly adjusted (sear engagement) and it has been proven time and time again that this is the case. Still feel nervous, spring $80 for a Timney and get a better triggers to boot. Two positions safeties.....? If they were remotely as "dangerous" as many of the m70 cheerleaders would want you believe, then the military wouldn't hundreds of thousands of them ins service in conditions, I might add, that are far, far more demanding for reliable weapons, so spare me the anecdotal BS. How many m70's are in the hands of our troops.......rest my case. Oh and I know this is coming in this juvenile thread, so lets address the issue of the self-ejecting bolt handle. Now, last figures I've heard was that Remington has sold more than 5 million M700, probably even more by now. We see the same guys (less than a half dozen) posting the same several pictures of faulty bolt handles. Now if I were to tell anyone here that if they played the lottery tomorrow and they had a 99.99999999 percent chance of winning, would you buy a ticket ?

If a person can lace their boots they are half way there.

Geezus, learn how to spell or at least use spellcheck Menefee. You sound like a retard.

not retarded just a disability. Sorry

Spare me your uneducated opinions Finn. After 5.5 years as a professional gunsmith I have a VERY good grasp of how the Remington trigger mechanism works and what it's design shortcomings are. The problem is caused by one part that no other trigger mechanism utilizes and it is not imaginary, nor does it require improper adjustment to rear it's completely unpredictable, ugly head. But hey, you and the rest of the Remington faithful go right on believing whatever you want. I've been through this debate a time or three before and I know trying to convince you is a complete waste of time.
