Remington 541-T HB
undefinedundefinedundefined Thanks to JohnBT for the details on adjustinmg these triggers. Mine took to it pretty well and is stable and crisp at less than 1 pound. You may have to tweak the sear engagement screw and the spring screw back and forth a bit for best results. BUT DON'T forget to go back in with the nail poliish when your satisfied, and make sure you use empty brass for this excercise!
My 541-HB is a 1993 model with a serail just over the 1,000,000 mark I understand they made these from 1986 or so to 1999. Although it is in superior condition I have discovered to my disgust that the former owner or wanabe gunsmith has altered the bedding in aleast two places. I found the front sling swivel screw sticking up in the barrel channel like the top of a ball bearing, with no glass or raised wood pad evident. Also the stock had been milled out at the receiver ring and screw area, so I also have no bedding or glass here either. Consequently when I first shot the gun it threw 2 1/2 -3 inch groups at 50 yards..was I sick over the $400 I paid!
The trouble is when you tighten the receiver screw, the action wobbles fore and aft not having a proper home. After calling and writing Remington on the bedding specs, I am told to ship it in and they will fix it and bill me. They said they will not do 'smithing over ther phone. Not having my guess another $200 to put into this gun , I am preparing to do the rebedding in glass myself.
I have done glass bedding before on sporterized springfields and mausers with new barrels. But the problem is I have never done one on a round action that at the moment has no recoil lugs or bosses to recenter the action in the stock. As I've said it can move forwards, back, and even rotates side to side. So I aksing you experts for tips on starting this out right...how do I center or relocate the action in the stock when I add the epoxy and set it harden? I realize I must have a shim out near the end of the barrel at least for the first batch of glass. But what is the consensus on uising a forearm pressure pad, and if so what shape and size do I make it?
