I would not change the bolt lock...
Posted by Brian Richardson on Feb 16 2005
While it may be a good idea to give your Remington rifles a goog check-up by a good gunsmith...

I would not change out the older Remington rifles bolt lock.

#1  Are you having problems w/ the guns?
#2  Are you having it fire w/ out pulling the trigger when you flip the safety to fire position?

If NO is the Answer - I'd leave them alone.
Having a bolt that locks while on safety is a good thing.

One thing to keep in mind - all Remington wants to do is either take off the locking feature on un-worn trigger works or replace the whole mechanism w/ a new one.

Why? You may have a great trigger, set the way you like it, working just fine, and a bolt that will stay in place instead of becoming ajar, open, even falling out if brushed the in the right instance.

If you are concerned try this on your Remington guns:
Here is the best practice and an old gun rule - Be sure the rifle is pointing in a safe or intended direction anytime you move the manual safety to the “Fire (F)” or safety Off to Fire position. After you have lifted the bolt, slide the bolt even slightly rearward and then immediately engage the manual safety back in the (S) or “On safe” position and then go ahead w/ the unloading process.

Best wishes -
