Remington 700 Fires without touching the trigger. Help!

Thread locker and small fine thread screws are not a good combo for future uninstallation. The liquid locker also has a bad habit of running into small places it should not be before hardening (hence the second round of recalls by Remington when they were replacing triggers). The old shellac worked well, is cheap (finger nail polish), and easy to simply put a drop over a clean screw head without concern of leaking down into places it should not be. I would recommend sticking with this time proven technique.

Captain, I note that you joined this community only 3 months ago and your post seems suspicious, i.e. tailor made, as evidence of a reasonable alternative design for a product liability lawsuit, e.g. evidence that other common actions last century (Mosin, Mauser, Winchester) don't have this same "defect."

In any event, there was a class action settlement regarding the Remington Action, if you are planning on suing Remington you need to get a copy of the settlement and see if you still have time to opt-out. Otherwise your claims will be barred. You might also want to check the Remington Bankruptcy and see if claims are barred. If you just want to get the trigger fixed, I'd follow the advice of the members above and sent it in for a free trigger job.

Well no. In fact it is not. I’ve been shooting for a while but the people that help get me into this sport did not shoot Remington. They all shot Winchester’s. From there I leaned of the Mauser on my own. I have big plans for this rifle and even have a really slick chunk of walnut picked out for it to make a custom stock. This is just my first rem and it’s new to me. Shoots damn nice aside from this issue.

About an hour ago I took the rifle apart and found the trigger caked in dust. After a good cleaning we’ll start this all over again and go from there.

The issue with Remington triggers is well known and has been covered in many separate threads. The choices laid out in this thread are really the best options. Send it back to Remington and wait, or install an aftermarket trigger and be done with it.

Eitherw wayI'm pulling the plug before we go too far down a road we've been down many times before, and most of which ended poorly.
