Ended up buying a 581 from ebay. About 2x the stripped housing cost, but will have a few spare parts for stock. The fleet has several of these. Thank all you guys! Tony

Old shooter, apparently no stock at Numrich at this time. On with the hunt. Thanks for the tip though.

Of course, DM.....thanks.

That I will probably do for next camp season. All girls/boys camps are done for this year. Can you point me to a sketch or drawing for the modification by any chance?

Thanks Old Shooter. I thought I had looked there, but if I did I missed it completely. If they actually have stock on it, I'm all set. Thanks again! Tony

Thanks for the reply, SR. This is a youth training rifle, so fine tuning the trigger really isn't a factor. I will expand my search to include a 581 trigger assembly..

I have a 541-T with a broken trigger housing. Seems they are not easy to find. At least the sources I have looked at. Rather than attempt to machine one from scratch, what I'd like to know is if there are any other Remington models that use the same, or at least an interchangeable trigger? I...

Well, I spoke in haste. Although it does shoot more reliably, it still suffers from the bolt-over-base stoppage. It has improved to average 1 of 10 rounds, better with high velocity ammunition than standard. When I examine the bolt face when this happens, the FP is "loose", as in not engaged...

Well, it took a while to get all ironed out, but all is well with this little rifle. A new sear spring, sear spring housing and a lot of honing rough edges and it works beautifully. As expected, a complete disassembly was executed to facilitate a thorough inspection. Polishing here and there...

While I am waiting on parts.....something else crossed my mind. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the common problem with this particular rifle of cross threading the sear spring housing. This one was a little cocked when I got it, so I suspect it has been a problem for the PO. Even with no...

It does have the floating recoil chamber, or whatever some people call it. I have found different references to it. It is free in the barrel. I saw no need to remove it since it was already free, but I can and probably will. I'll have this rifle scattered completely before I resolve this, I...

Well, I think I will address the sear issues first, then see what comes of the feed stoppage. Is there anything you can think of that would interfere with the bolt movement so that it would not make the full length travel back beyond where the sear would engage? It seems smooth, both with and...

Vern, so the worn sear(s) might simply not be catching when the bolt cycles? At least on that part. I will look closer at the elevator.

Is it possible that the sear spring is incorrect? It sure seems strong when held in place outside the gun. Long spring, lots of compression. Both sear edges seem to be sharp enough, but I'm not against ordering a few new parts, such as the sear spring housing, the sear spring, the upper sear and...

Pics coming. Please bear with me. I am recuperating from a broken femur and just now can get around (more or less) with a cane. My shop is about 200 feet from my home, so it takes a little bit to get there and back. These pictures are not my best. I will set up some lighting and get some good...

Thanks for the replies. I'll get some pics as soon as possible. I think I need a min number of posts before I can upload locally, so I may use photobucket and simply link to them if I can do that. "unneeded" well....the sear housing (fancy screw) has a groove cut in what might be called in...

Rem 550-I First, thank to the Admin(s) and Mods for all the work they put in on this site, and thank to the owner, and those who helped establish it and those who keep building it. Second, I beg pardon for asking a question that has been addressed. I have done what I think is a thorough...
