This is the classic "gun fires when you close the bolt" issue. Duh!
It's a 1960's vintage 700 that hasn't ever had the trigger assembly cleaned or serviced. It will get a thorough cleaning and service, and made like new again. Only this time it will be reassembled without the use of preservatives that were originally included in these triggers.
If the owners of these 700's would have been made aware of the problems associated with the long term presence of these preservatives, and instructed how to clean the crap out before using the rifle, I believe, based on years of experience restoring Remington 700 triggers, that a large number of Remington 700 AD issues would have been avoided, leaving more time for bitching about bolt handles and extractors.
