The carrier and cartridge stop fit together via a small boss and the pivot screw . The factory setting to not work on this rifle
These two items need to be clean and polished with steel wool to maintain smooth bright finish .
The fit needs to be tight enough so the boss can stay in slot but loose enough for the carrier to snap up at correct timing.

Thank You
Tho mine fereds and does so well, I appericate the info.

 

i had the same feeding problems with mine that i bought at lgs. i did what you did but found bubba had used a knife or screwdriver to remove jammed cartridges and actually bent the ears of the receiver insert so that the cartridge would not have the right angle to feed properly. filed and deburred ears and after finding the correct spacing, has worked flawlessly ever since. i scoped mine with a nice old school weaver 4x and is very accurate.

 

I searched high and low for a fix for this including over here .Nobody had same fixes.
I finally read several posts that lead back to the staked cartridge guide and carrier screw.

I can assure anybody out there if they have one of these Remingtons and it doesn't feed the cartridges into chamber 99% its the fit between these two parts and they're cleanliness.

As in mine it sat for years before I got it in the 1990'And then sat again for just as long .
Possible removal from stock and flush with Break free CLP followed by compressed air will keep these working good.

Experimenting with the adjustment screw is key . Tighten ,then back off 1/4 turn is what I found in one of my gunsmith books . But is just a starter.
Critical these parts are clean and a good burnish with fine Wire brush helps too.

 

May I ask what type of jam you had? Failed to feed cartridge? Mine cycles cartridges fine but when trigger is pulled, the gun doesn’t fire. Acts as if the safety is on.

 

That sounds like good bolt cleaning is needed.Never had a failure to fire in mine. Only failure to feed.
