Rem 700 BDL Long Trigger Guard Screws
These screws are very long and must be cut to size.
Shallow cavity depth.
Factory Remington screws have a cavity depth of aprox. .134. The Brownell's replacement screws have a cavity depth of aprox. .084. Worn tooling should not be used.
Too long
I ordered these for a Remington 700BDL. Both screws are way too long, I will have to cut them to fit.
Bad screws
These screws that were recommended for this build were too long and you don’t show any that were right for Remington actions. I had to order them from a machine tool company. Very disappointed in customer service because they don’t seem to know your products good enough. I was told that you did carry any tigger pins for my build only to find they were included with the barreled action. We already order pins from a machine tool company of your employees advice.
Shallow Hex Recess
The recess wall depth and effective depth is approximately 3/32 of an inch or 2 mm. I can't trust it will hold a hex bit for a torque wrench without stripping. Then how do I get the mount screw out? Might be serviceable for a wooden stock, but then what's the point of long mount screws for a Rem. 700 ADL?
Screws are way too long
Bought these for my Rem. 700 BDL as the originals are too short for the Boyds hardwood stock. Discription says they are 1/4 inch longer. My calipers say that they are .650 longer (more than 5/8) I can cut these down but care will have to be taken to not ruin the heat treat and fine threads.
really wanted standard length screws,
I used these screws on a Cooper M57 17HMR. I would have liked them to be standard Rem length. I had to cut them up to 1/2" and chase the threads to get them to work. The postage was excessive. They could have been shipped in a small padded envelope for first class postage, instead of standard shipping costs. For these reasons, I would not recommend them
Don't do it.
Same as the previous review... the hex holes are half as deep as the factory screws. I lightly snugged one screw during the bedding process (we're talking 25-30 inch pounds) and that's all it took to strip the head. Hardened steel so I couldn't drill it out. Had to use a die grinder and burr to pop the head off. Not fun while working on a new benchrest stock. Not to mention damaging the escutcheon.
Worst screws yet.....
I ordered 2 sets of these screws to accommodate 2 custom remington 700 projects. I used the first set in bedding the first gun and ended up with a destroyed stock due to a serious flaw with these screws. The socket in the head of these screws are VERY shallow compared to the screws that are coming with the Rem 700's from the factory. I ended up using the second set to finish the first gun after a new stock was brought in. Its a great concept but the heads are not up to par on these screws.
