Bottom metal problem - 09/13/16
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.
