i enjoy these threads on the 700. given i have been using them since the 70's, have four or five or more of them, and have never had a problem. Never use the safety either, as i don't carry them hot with a round in the chamber.
I only put a round in the chamber when i am ready to shoot something.
Having said that, i think i am going to get a can of spray brake cleaner, and give all of them a squirt.
