Default RE: remington 700 ml

ORIGINAL: Ruben

I have a couple of questions and comments about the Remington ML with the Canadian conversion. 1) After you have taken the pin out, how do you remove the factory firing pin and install the new one.

The best way to remove the pin in the pin is with a smal brass punch. Drive the pin completely out with the punch - the pin (crosspin) is spring steel - once that is done unscrew the firing pin and firing spring.

I feel like pliers are needed, but I do not want to damage the pin. 2) Why can't you use the metal (factory) weather shroud with the Canadian conversion?

You can use the factory metal shroud if you have one, the original fiber shroud will work also, but I would drill a 3/16" hole for a gas vent to relieve/release pressure from the bolt and nipple area.


3) I was able to get a one-piece breach plug from the Canadian complany, so there is no need for a breach plug and nipple.

I did not know they made such an animal, I only talked to the Canadians one time and he did not mention it.

As far as this gun goes, I can not imagine a more accurate ML. I shoots far better than my capabilities.

Agreeed, I love the gun

I am not sure how this message is goin to turn out - hope it makes some sense...
