Picked up a new rifle in Rem 700 long Range in 7mm PRC on Friday. I was unable to check it out until Saturday morning. At the store they had a tigger lock and I was unable to inspect the bolt.
Here is what I found
The bolt stop will not return to the down position without pulling it down. I should be able to fix it.
The other issue is a large piece of brass stuck under the extractor and what looks to be a primer leak around the bolt face. I don’t think that its cut the bolt face but I did not want to wipe the carbon away.
The brass under the extractor is right where the rivet holding the extractor in place. And wonder if there was a blown primer or case rupture?
I am going to take it back to the store at their request.
Would it be a non issue to you ? Should I just remove the brass and fire it.
I figured they will make me deal with the factory.
Also wonder why Remington went back to the riveted extractor.
