Does the Rem Model 7 use the same firing pin assy. as the M700?

Does anyone know if the Model 7 uses the same firing pin assembly and bolt shroud as the M700 short action? (.308 in both)

Thanks,

No! Its even shorter than the 700 short action firing pin assy.

Thanks. I found out late last night that the Model 7 is based on the old Rem 100(?) bolt action pistols?

The Model 7 is on the Model 600 action, which in turn was the old XP-100 action. Nothing wrong with that, but it is not the same as the Model 700 action and parts won't interchange.

The Model 7 is on the Model 600 action,

don't think so.......

the (old style)XP-100 and M-600/660 action have the triggergroup assembly mounted farther forward, and a dogleg bolt to accomodate that.

the model 7 might be a huge redesign of the old XP-100/m600 action but is is not the same thing.
