StainTrain Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I thought about just changing the trigger but iam trying to keep my wife happy at the moment so I can stary saving to change the bottom metal and 10 round double stack magazine. In total the stock inletting and bottom metal will cost $311.00 The trigger will bring you instant happiness. I appreciate DBM, but only for my work guns. I have a personal 700 AAC-SD with a B&C A2 and have yet to get the muster the desire to have it inletted. I know it is personal preference, but I can think of few upgrades that rival my Timney triggers in my bolt guns. Plus....I am too cheap to load up on AI mags.

lmao_37 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Its getting the PTG bottom metal and Aics 10 round 223 magazines. I phoned a gun smiths in Albuquerque NM said they would inlet the stock and supply the bottom metal and 1 10 round magazine for $318 but iam sort of looking for someone closer who could inlet the stock without screwing it up.

I have a Timmney trigger on my Mosin Nagent and I love it but I hate scraping my thumb on the scope mount base and there isn't alot of room when loading the rounds through the top. I lack patients to be honest and like the idea of loading 10 rounds in a magazine and enjoy Edited August 28, 2014 by lmao_37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Plus....I am too cheap to load up on AI mags. Don't. Save a little, but don't let the mags stop you, brother. Search out the "factory Ruger GSR mags." Made by Accurate Mag, shipping a 10-rd with every GSR that goes out - if the state allows that. The 10-rounder is the one that is included with the rifle in most places. http://accurate-mag.com/ http://accurate-mag.com/ From ShopRuger direct, they're on the web-store: http://shopruger.com/308-Mag-10-Round-Magazine/productinfo/90353/ That's a good price, and you can find them cheaper when you search the Ruger part number (search "Ruger 90353"). <thumbsup> What always happens when you post something in the internet? You make your discovery, and THAT $HIT GOES OUT OF STOCK. EVERYWHERE. Get 'em while you can, brother. :happydrunks: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmao_37 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 My Remington 700 got delivered back to me today with the "fixed" trigger iam hopping to get to shoot it again this weekend. It took about 7 weeks to get the trigger fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 That's what I was afraid of, and why I didn't send mine back in. Took me a day to pick the trigger, pick it up from Timney, and install it. I didn't know how long the factory would take, but I knew it was going to take them longer than I wanted.

StainTrain Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Primary Arms has the Timney 510 on sale for $93.49. I have never seen them that low. If you think that a Remington 700 could possibly in your future....buy now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 A little late but these are what I'm running on my 700 without issue in the PTG bottom metal. http://mdttac.com/magazines.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Those are very, very scary-similar to the Ruger GSR poly mags, which I couldn't get to run in my 700. The bolt won't pick up a round, every single time. I am seeing some differences in the feedlips on the ones you posted, which isn't the same as the poly GSR mags. I need to pick one of these up and compare it to the poly GSRs. If they run, I'm in. <thumbsup> EDIT - the more I look at them, there's a significant difference in the feedlips on those MDT mags, over the poly GSR mags.

Bad Wolf Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Mine has ran solid so far. The only issue Ive ever heard with any mag is the OAL cant be to long. Edited March 24, 2015 by Bad Wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_SC Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) AI mags allow a long OAL, I don't know offhand how long but I can measure when I get home. They're $39 in stock at Midway right now. My SPS Tactical looks very similar to yours, I've set the barrel back and rechambered to .223AI and threaded the barrel. It's going to be getting a new barrel in a couple months. Edited March 24, 2015 by Red_SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 well crap, found out my rifle is one on the recall list... good news, I just ordered a Timney 517 from ArmsUnlimited for $115.00 and free shipping... I also expect I'll have some bottom metal and additional magazines ordered so when I tear it apart for the trigger installation I can do it all at one time... keep down the wear and tear on tools and fastening devices...
