Got my gunsmith take the Remington Tactical 700-223 because the primers are cratering
badly then the strikes became too light to crank the bullets.
Ordered a new firing pin and 18-pound spring for either or both he needed.
He replaced the spring and, man, was it in sad shape. Flat on both ends
and worn down. So, her replaced the spring and not the firing pin because
there is no visible wear on it.
I will bet there haven't been more than 200 rounds put thru it in all the time
I have had it, and I got it new. It is one of the most accurate rifles I have but
now it comes back with the same problem it had before, PHOTO INCLUDED
I just looked back and the cratering has been going on, progressively, for
some time. I fireform the cases and keep them till I have enough to reload
so, I had them laid back.
Has anyone else had this problem with the s/a 700?
Or did I lead my gunsmith into thinking the spring was the problem?
