New Firing Pin Assembly

[trsmith1818]

Hey All,

In attempts to squeeze every last little bit of accuracy out of my rifle I am "building" I was looking into replacing the firing pin assembly on my Remington 700 with one of these after market products:

First off, what is your personal opinion/experience on doing this to improve the lock time and thus the accuracy? If you reccomend doing it which product would you recommend?

I have a Gre-Tan on a M700 300 SAUM, and it has been very reliable. It didn't improve the accuracy over the factory J-Lock system, but it sure is built well. You can't go wrong with any that you listed, but I would opt for either the Gre-Tan or the PTG. They sure are easy to install.

This is what is on my 350 RM, 673.

with those striker assemblies you will shave .02 milliseconds off the locktime of your rifle.
what you need to know is can you shoot well enough to be able to see it? just something to think about.
If a man can only shoot .25 moa does a rifle that will shoot in the .1's benefit him?

Hells yes!

No, actually not. No benefit at all. But isn't that what we all do this stuff for?

I'm thinking the same thing myself, replacing the Firing Pin Assembly in my 700, if only to remove the wart.

Plus, you can get the PTGs anodized in red or blue.

Too bad you can't get purple!

I have two Tubbs on my 700's and no fitting required. Both work very well.

EW!!!! A WART!!! Does it have a TUMOR too?

I put a PTg Aluminum in my 700 Ti. Not sure it helped but it got rid of that ugly J-Lock.

Undoubtedly, this is the biggest asset to changing out the firing pin assembly and shroud.

thanks for the input. I guess its just ne of the many steps with building this rifle that I am trying to eliminate all excuses for poor shooting so I literally will have no one to blame but myself.

Heck, I don't shoot well enough to blame my stock Winchesters. They always seem to shoot better than me!

Joel the wart has to go plain and simple! Those J-locks are worthless as @%&* on a boar!

If you are looking for more accuracy and replacing the Jlock Idsend it to Gretan and have greg bush your bolt and install his firing pin assembly.
