Here are a couple of scans from my Rem 600. Can you tell if this is Rem 600 or a Rem 700 replacement. Also here is the trigger....adjustable???

Not the best pics but we were only able to scan being we do not have a digital camera.

Thnaks guys,
Kyle

It looks similar to the 660 trigger I'm holding. Does it have 2 screws in the front and one screw in the back?, if so it is adjustable. How much creep you can get out of it I don't know...

It looks like a 700 trigger body with a different shoe brazed on either as a repair or a modification to fit the 600 guard. The bolt handle has also been replaced with a 700 style. All 600 triggers are adjustable provided that You know what you are doing. Adjusting triggers without some knowledge of how, why and the relationship between each screw and what the cause and effect is of each turn can be a real slippery slope. Study the trigger and a schematic and ask questions until you understand the trigger before doing any adjusting.

Ron and Duane,

Thanks for the response. There are two screws in the front and one in the rear. And the foot was put on there to work with the custom safety. It is behind the foot and it stops the foot from moving rearward. I knew the bolt handle was different and someone thought it may be a completely different bolt from a 700.

In either case, I do not plan on adjusting it myself but wanted to know if I needed to purchase an aftermarket trigger or have a smith adjust this one. The trigger pull weight is not bothersome but the creep is terrible to me.

Thanks,
Kyle

Two things I find very interesting about the images you posted:



First...



The bolt appears to be a M/700 bolt, However, The bolt plug is enclosed and protects the end of the cocking piece from impact.... (Real Good Idea!) Remington made a similar decision and eventual change to also protect the end of the cocking piece. However they modified the end of the cocking piece so that it would not protrude past the bolt plug in the cocked position to protect against impact which could potentially cause damage to the fragile trigger connector or result in an accidental discharge upon impact.



The year the change was made escapes me at the moment but quite apparent if one examines earlier production B/A models.



Second...



The fire control housing is definitely a "M/700 style" as I indicated in my previous post, either post manufacture modified, later production or part of the recall retrofit to the M/700 style with the exception of the trigger itself, the earlier production M/600 fire control was folded sheet metal similar to the M/721 -722 series housing instead of riveted with spacer blocks ....



Looking at the fire control from the bottom side, look in front of the trigger where it meets the housing, is there another little piece of steel which appears to wrap around the bottom of the "trigger body" and then again take a look in the inspection hole in the side plate, is the trigger comprised of one piece or two, with a fine point knife you should be able to separate the two pieces to make the distinction if you can get to it from the bottom?



It appears from the pic that the new trigger extends up into the housing but I was wondering if the "Trigger Connector" concept still exists in this present system you employ???



Finally a good idea, someone developed a "Trigger Block Safety" for the Walker fire control, which of course was Mr. Walkers vision for his concept all along!



Best Regards, Augustis ><>
