Having had the chance to play with this thing, I can see why some folks tend to put it down -- there is a definite feeling of flimsiness or cheapness to certain aspects of it, especially the trigger and safety assembly and the plastic "iron" sights.

Despite all that, I think it has potential. So, I'm going to make this thing my project for the coming year, to see how many improvements I can make to it. This post will be a haphazardly-updated project blog (plog?) to follow along as I try to do something with this thing without ending up in the emergency room or psych ward. I'm hoping it also generates plenty of ideas and suggestions for how to go about it.

Here is my current (and probably overly-ambitious) list of improvements I'd like to make:
  • Replace the nylon trigger rail assembly with one made of metal, likely either steel or aluminum
  • Replace safety assembly with metal (or come up with something more secure)
  • Shave down the carrying handle and front sight post and mount a metal bar across the two of them them
  • Install a 12" rail on the top of the aforementioned metal bar
  • Install 4" rails on each side of the metal bar
  • Add sling swivels and studs to the stock
  • Add a rail and vertical foregrip to the underside of the stock
  • Install an integrated bipod into the foreguard
  • Repaint the entire stock in Flat Dark Earth or Coyote
  • Add accessories (red-dot sight, laser, SureFire-style light)

I briefly played around in Powerpoint to make a mock-up of what the end-product might possibly resemble (attached below).

Resources and constraints:

For resources, I currently have:
  • Muzzelite stock
  • 12" rail
  • Two 4" rails
  • Two sling studs
  • Standard homeowner tools, including table saw, hacksaw, belt sander, router, skill saw, drill, sawzall, Dremel, etc.

For constraints, I have:
  • Limited funds (~$50 a month)
  • No metalworking tools (nor welding tools)
  • No metalworking knowledge
  • No drill press or band saw

Some initial thoughts on the improvements above:

1. Replacing the trigger assembly. I'll post a couple of pics of this thing later, but it's an ugly beast that has few to no standard dimensions. Looking at the metal bar stock at Lowes and Home Despot, I can see that there will be quite a bit of grinding required to make a metal piece that matches the dimensions of this thing.

2. Shaving down the carrying handle/front sight post and adding a metal bar across both of them. Mounting a scope on top of a Muzzelite presents a problem in that the height is enough to create difficulty for the firer's cheek-to-stock weld and for zeroing in a scope with any degree of accuracy. The difficulty with this portion is that the screws holding that part of the stock together are not placed at a uniform height above the true-line of the barrel, so drilling holes through the bar (I'm planning on using 1" wide tubular aluminum or steel) is going to have to be carefully done so as to not tip the rail off the true-line of the barrel.

Using tubular metal instead of solid lessens the weight, greatly increases strength, and allows for easier drilling and mounting of the rails. For point of reference, the distance on the unmodified Muzzelite between the rear sight blade and the front sight post is very close to 12". The front sight post also has a metal threaded insert running vertically down its center that will need to be removed.

3. Add a rail and foregrip to the underside of the forearm. The challenge here is that the Muzzelite is split down the middle, rather than having the receiver drop in from the top, so simply drilling in and adding a rail wouldn't be terribly stable. Luckily, the Muzzelite stock is hollow and there is somewhere around 1.5" to 2" of room between the bottom of the forearm and the bottom of the barrel, so there is some room there to play with attaching hardware.

My current thought is to take a pair of 2" x 4" metal plates and drill them out in an identical fashion, then to drill out the underside of the stock to match the holes in the plates. The plate that will go on the inside will be tapped to accept a machine screw (maybe a #10-24 or #10-32), and so acts like a giant washer. I can then screw the plates onto one half of the stock, mount the rifle inside, close up the stock, and finish screwing the other side of the plate into the other half of the stock.

I will also pre-drill and tap the inside plate to the same holes as on the rail I will be mounting under there (probably a 3" or 4"), so once the stock is closed up and the metal plates are firmly screwed and LocTite'd together, I can add the rail. Then the foregrip goes onto the rail, and the assembly will hopefully be strong enough to take the stresses of a shooter holding the foregrip while maneuvering and firing.

4. Install an integrated bipod. My initial plan was to just buy a Weaver-compatible bipod and swap out the foregrip and bipod when necessary. That's still a feasible plan. But when I thought about putting the two shorter rails (for a laser and SureFire) on the metal bar, I realized that it freed up empty space on the foreguard of the stock. I figure I can find a way to install two metal legs that can rotate from a postion lying alongside the stock to the typical inverted-V of a bipod. The stock itself helps with this, because the sides of the foreguard slope inwards; a metal rod attached to the foreguard on a pivot-style hinge only needs to swing downwards to splay it out at something like a 25º to 30º angle from the centerline of the stock. The hardest part will be finding the right hinge or pivot to use; I'm pretty sure I can come up with a mechanism for controlling the traverse of the legs as they swing upwards and downwards.

Anyway... that's enough to start with, at this point. I'll start taking pics of components this weekend and solicit some ideas on how to remake this trigger rail assembly in something less spongy.

Thanks,

Yesterday I went to the range and put around 30 rounds through it. It performed flawlessly and I shot 3.5" groups at 50 yrds using the iron sights.

Last night I installed the ultimak rail and a Bushnel Holosight. This improved my accuracy. Once the sight was dialed in I shot a 2.5" group which is very good for me. However I had two malfunctions in around 20 rounds.

The first was when a spent cartridge failed to completely exit the gun which caused a jam. The second which seems more serious is that a spent cartridge was still in the bore with another bullet jammed behind it.

I am shooting 55gr 0.223 Winchester UMC ammo. I'm using the 5 round magazine that came with the gun.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem? One of the deciding factors in buying this gun was the reputation for reliability. Since I had no problems the first day I assume that the changes I made installing the rail could have caused it. I have other magazines on order so can try that to see if my factory magazine is bad (I admit that I did drop it once).

Defective Remington 700 Bolt-Action Rifle

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remington’s Defective Trigger System

A Historical Summary

Extensive Claims and Litigation History

1.Remington has been aware that its bolt-action rifles will sometimes fire absent a trigger pull.

2.To date, Remington has received thousands of customer complaints of unintended discharge for the Model 700 and 710 alone. Over 100 injured individuals have sued Remington over the same defective design. Remington and its insurers have paid to settle most of the claims rather than admit the defect and pay the cost of a recall and refit thereby leaving millions of persons at risk of their lives and those of their family and friends. click on here to review Remington memo January 2, 1979 wherein Remington admits to its own defect and recognizes the danger to its customers)


3.Ignoring thousands of customer complaints, Remington refused to recall its rifles, install a new trigger, or warn its customers of the potential danger. (click on here to review Remington memo dated January 2, 1979 wherein Remington admits to its own defect and recognizes the danger to its customers)


4.Instead, Remington designed the new 710 (introduced in 2001) using the very same defective M700 fire control.


5.Not surprisingly, Remington has already received numerous complaints from its customers of unintended discharge, mirroring the complaint history of the 700.


The Defect

1.Remington’s trigger mechanism uses an internal component called a “connector” – a design component not used by any other rifle manufacturer. The connector floats on top of the trigger body inside of the gun, but is not physically bound to the trigger in any way other than tension from a spring. When the trigger is pulled, the connecter is pushed forward by the trigger, allowing the sear to fall and fire the rifle.


2.The proper position of the connector under the sear is an overlap of only 25/1000ths of an inch, but because the connector is not bound to the trigger, the connector separates from the trigger body when the rifle is fired and creates a gap between the two parts.


3.Any dirt, debris or manufacturing scrap can then become lodged in the space created between the connector and the trigger, preventing the connector from returning to its original position.


4.Remington’s defective fire control could have been redesigned to eliminate the harm or danger very inexpensively. There is no valid engineering reason why the successfully utilized connectorless designs could not have been used by Remington in its Model 700 and 710.


5.In fact, Remington has recently done just that for the Model 700 with a newly designed trigger, the X-Mark Pro. That design, which eliminates the connector, was completed in 2002. However, Remington chose to continue with its prior unsafe design for financial reasons, never warning the public. Even today, Remington installs the new fire control into some but not all of its bolt-action rifles, leaving many users at risk with the old and defective design.


Jury Verdicts and Appellate Court Opinions of Remington’s Defective Fire Control
1.In Lewy v. Remington, 836 F.2d 1104, 1106-07 (8th Cir. 1988); the Eighth Circuit upheld a finding of punitive damages against Remington in 1985.


2.In Campbell v. Remington Arms Co., 1992 WL 54928 (9th Cir. 1992)(unpublished opinion); affirmed a jury verdict of $724,000 based on a fire on bolt closure, finding no error.


3.Later in 1992, the Texas Supreme Court, in Chapa v. Garcia, specifically describes Remington’s fire control as “defective.”


4.In 1994, a Texas jury rendered a verdict in Collins v. Remington after Glenn Collins lost this foot to a Model 700 accidental discharge. The jury found that the fire control was defective and awarded a $15 million in exemplary damages. The total verdict was in excess of $17 million. (click on here to review Business Week article entitled “Remington Faces A Misfiring Squad”)


5.The verdicts stopped with the Collins verdict. After that, Remington settled all claims. Instead of recalling or replacing the defective fire control, Remington has quietly paid almost $20 million to settle claims out of court, finally replacing the fire control only in 2007.


Remington’s Redesign Efforts After the $17 million Collins Verdict

1.After Collins, Remington again contemplated a recall and again recognized the need to redesign its fire control. Internal documents detail Remington’s extensive knowledge of the problem. However, until it finally introduced a new fire control in 2007 (a design that eliminates the connector), Remington consistently chose to forego a safer design.
Timeline of Redesign Efforts

1.In 1995, Remington openly acknowledges the need to “fix” the fire control and “eliminate” ‘Fire on Safety Release’ malfunction.”


2.In 1997, when Remington embarked on the design of the Model 710, documents reflect Remington’s desire not to include the M700 “Walker” –based fire control in the M710.


3.Remington designers then developed several connectorless fire controls for the M710. Remington documents clearly show that the new designs were favored (“The new concept barrel and fire control analysis was complete with excellent results.”)


4.However, the designs met their downfall during Remington’s economic analysis. Project spending was put on hold in May 1998 “until economics and project is approved.” That approval never came. In August 1998, the safer designs were abandoned due to an “estimated cost increase.”


5.Remington instead decided to pull the unsafe Model 700 fire control off the shelf and use it in the new Model 710 to “eliminate development cost and time.”


6.As Remington began its internal testing of the new Model 710 (with the old Model 700 fire control installed), Remington, knowing the history of the design, warned its internal testers of the possibility of inadvertent discharge;
For each of the four rounds in the magazine the tester will close the bolt “smartly” –(i.e. as quickly as practical” –and be prepared for the rifle to inadvertently follow down or fire.

No such warning is provided to customers that purchase the Model 700 or 710, nor was such a warning given to the Barber parents, whose son died as the result of the trigger defect. (click on here to review excerpts from – CBS News 2001)

1.In 2000, a Model 710 rifle fired on bolt closure during Remington’s testing. Remington’s own expert witness in litigation admits that Remington “could not nail down” the reason for the discharge without a trigger pull.


2.In preparation for the introduction of the M710 to market, Remington Consumer Team Meeting minutes from 2001 reveal that Remington planned for personal injuries of its customers as a result of inadvertent discharges from Model 710 rifles:
Safety/Injury Calls and the Model 710 – Ken – If a consumer calls with a safety concern, (i.e. FSR, fires when closed, personal injury or property damage, etc), these calls AND firearms go to Dennis or Fred

1.Predictably, Remington began receiving reports of injury and accidental discharge from the Model 710 almost identical to the thousands of complaints it had received from the Model 700 soon after its release.

Seating the projectile too deep can cause pressures to rise to catastrophic levels.

What is the longest projectile that can be used in the mini 14 so the round is not too long for the magazines?

Could I load an 80 grain projectile to the depth required for reliable magazine feeding without seating it too deep in the case?

This would be used for hunting rabbits, foxes, goats and deer so hollow points, ballistic tipped or other such projectiles would be used and FMJ are off the list.

Also I have a set of 2 Lee reloading dies not the deluxe set, should I get the factory crimp die or just use the roll crimp?
