700 ADL Feeding Issue - 08/15/23
I have a Remington 700 Youth in 308. It’s from the J-lock era (early 2000s) with the bead-blasted/Parkerized finish. The factory ADL stock is an early injection-molded Tupperware version.
It’s hard to get four cartridges in the magazine. When I do, I have to really ram the bolt home to get the first one into the chamber. The second and third feed normally. The last one often won’t feed at all because the back of the cartridge sits below the bolt face so the bolt doesn't pick it up.
I have a stainless 700 in 308 that feeds four cartridges with no drama, but it's an ADL that's been converted to BDL.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Okie John
