A while back, I bought a lightly used 700 ADL Synthetic in .223 to replace my ten ton heavy barrel AR calling rifle. I replaced the stock with an H-S Precision, and when torquing the guard screws, I cracked the hi-tech Remington plastic triggerguard. I jumped online, and notified Remington that their plastic triggerguard wasn't up to the job. In the meantime, I added another $25 to an existing Brownell's order and bought an aluminum triggerguard. Well, I checked the mail today, and there was a padded envelope from Remington. Inside was a brand new matte finished STEEL triggerguard. I almost passed out. I haven't seen a factory Remington 700 triggerguard in years! I initially thought surely this is just heavy aluminum. Well a magnet sticks to it, and it's pretty meaty. I had a running gun battle with Remington about a year ago over a receiver that they drilled and tapped incorrectly, and finally after three months of emails and phone calls, they replaced the receiver. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction for Remington Customer Service.

......don't do that to me, my heart can't take it!  I am equally surprised!! I also can't believe they still had one. Plastic has been the rule for a while now. Congrats! Bob |

Well, I guess it's turned into "Ask and thou shall receive" in Ilion, NY now. Either that, or they have me mistaken for someone important.  |

I'll have to agree with you on that one Lorenzo. I've checked my Brownell's catalog, and a steel triggerguard runs $48.50 (dealer cost, not retail). Heck, I paid $30 for the black aluminum triggerguard that I have.

Heck no. I installed the steel one, and saved the aluminum one for my next adl project. If I save it, I'll just lose it.

I'll try, but sometimes I think that if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have none at all. |
