How is the "Hunter Special" described in the catalog? Never heard of such a thing

"East to take apart". Boy, you're handier than I am. Every year, after duck season I break down my matt rim gun that used to be my Dad's. Always have to get out direction for removing the bolt.

Small world. My Dad was a Remington Director about the same time.
I wouldn't concern myself with looking for a 3" 20 gauge. The pattern work Bob Brister did ("Shotgunning, the Art and the Science") pointed out that 3" 20 gauges patterned very poorly.

Took my M700 in to a shop which is a Remington authorized service center. Gun was built about 1973. I couldn't get the trigger pull below about 5#. The shop said "How about we put in a new trigger, adjust it to your specs (3.5#) while you wait, and charge you $15?" Apparently it may be som...

Dick Heckert was a really good man. About 6'5", and an enthusiastic hunter

The gun looks like any other M3200, except that it has a silver shield with my Dad's initials inlet in the toe of the stock. Wood is upgraded (funny how that happened with Directors' guns) The gun has basically no incremental value - Remington is unable to track anything unique about the gun (Believ...

My Dad was a Director at Remington when the 3200 was introduced. He ordered a 3200 with two sets of barrels. It turned out that the gun was used as a prototype for the multiple barrel sets . That gun was on Remington's books for $300,000. Hard for Remington to make any money on the skeet sets if the...

I realize this is not a gunsmithing site, but can someone direct me to a good forum to discuss trying to lighten the trigger pull on a 70's era M700?

I have reviewed the various Youtube demonstrations, but backing out the trigger poundage screw seems to make no difference.
Thanks in advance

Gun was returned yesterday. Never did hear from the customer service folks. I guess all's well that ends well

Grrr! I sent a request to Remington Customer Service a week ago regarding the recall of a M700. Got an automated response saying "Thanks - will get back to you shortly". A week has passed. Sent a second response. Nada. BTW, for better or worse, I pointed out to them that my dad had been a ...

It finally wore thru and we spotted it visually

I have an 11-87 which had the action bar sleeve made off center. The wall thickness was nearly paper thin on one side (unbeknownst to me) It failed to cycle, but took a long time to diagnose the problem.

You'll have better luck posting this in the rifle section

Google "John Lacy Remington" Several copies for sale, but the owners are real proud of them

Be careful when sanding the stock to fit. In gross terms, if the gap you are describing is 1/16", the stock is 1 1/2" top to bottom at the receiver, and is 14" long, you could raise the drop at heel by somewhere around 1/2".
