mod7rem,
Your trigger adjusting routine is dangerous at best.
Cease & desist until you have a clue what you are doing.
greydog,
Once again-
Bolt handle TIMING has nothing associated w/ firing pin TIMING in a Remington.
Break out the precision instruments-
With bolt rotated out of battery - - firing pin is cocked.
COCK ON OPEN
Indicate protrusion from aft end of firing pin striker to firing pin shroud which Rem calls a PLUG.
Annotate that number to the nearest thousandth of an inch(.000")
With a clear chamber,tip rifle muzzle down & let bolt slide fwd.
Slightly PUSH fwd & rotate bolt into battery.
COCK ON CLOSE
Indicate protrusion from aft end of firing pin striker to firing pin shroud.
Annotate that number to the nearest thousandth of an inch.(.000")
STRIKER TO SEAR HAND OFF TIMING
Average dimensions that you will notice depending on vintage are
cocked= +.015"
battery= +.060"
fired= -.120"
Any Remington w/angled sear to striker engagement surfaces by design is unlike any military square cut sear/striker arrangement by design which allows lifting the bolt handle to re-cock the firing pin in a battlefield scenario/situation unlike a COCK on CLOSE design.(M98/M96/'03/'03A3-A4/P17/SMLE)
