Remington model four problems
I have a Remington model four and it’s low round count and shoots phenomenally well. I went to the range today to get everything dialed in for an upcoming hunt with a new ammo and 6 rounds in the bolt release on the side is still under pressure but it doesn’t do anything and the bolt stays back. I’ve been reasearching it but haven’t taken anything apart or started really fiddling with it because I figured I’d ask you guys first. Thanks

Is the bolt lock like the older 740/742/7400?

Can you remove the mag? Does the follower activate the bolt hold open?

So quick update I’ve bought another mag and it’s still stuck rearward. Unless any bodies got any ideas I’m gonna try to find a gunsmith

Remove the fore end and see if something is amiss in there. I had a guy bring me a 740 with a bolt that "wouldn't close". I found about 3" of weed stem that had entered one of the slots in the fore end and was impinging the gas system.
It's been a long time since I had a Rem semi-auto apart but about the only other culprit could be the sear failed and the hammer is snagging the bolt????? If this seems to be a possibility, punch out the two pins that hold the trigger group in place and while holding the bolt to the rear, remove the trigger group from the receiver. The trigger group is "self-contained" so will not scatter it's parts when removed. This will give access to all the internals of the action. |
