I've had a little bit of time over the last two days to work on the Remington 700. Here are a few pictures of Monday evening.
Head space is set. This picture shows the bolt not closing on the no go gauge.
After checking headspace, I put in a piece of brass that had a primer loaded, no bullet or powder. Then I pulled the trigger and heard the pop of the primer. Why? Well... Because it was kind of fun even though it served no real purpose except for making me smile.
Next, I took the bolt apart. The ejector was already out for the head space gauges. I actually broke the bolt down further to prep for Cerakote, but I didn't take a picture of that.
Next post will will be of what I did tonight.
