Rem 600 project advice/opinions

[Simpson302]

Are there any metal trigger guards readily available these days, either steel or aluminum?
The original plastic ones don't hold up very well at all.

A friend has one in .350RemMag. That is a serious thumper.

Have one I rebuilt years ago. Sent it back to Remington for a new barrel, rebuilt the stock to Mannlicher style. Handy .243.

SuperCub was nice enough to share this link below with me, heritage-arms.com also sells then but a little more $. Not sure about getting them across the boarder.

They make great hunting guns. I have done numerous projects on them, including a 284, a couple of scout rifles, a 7mm-08 AI, and a 358. - dan

Did you order new barrels or reboar any? A worn out 660 20" 6mm barrel has been offered to me and wondering if i could boar it out to 358 maybe.

600s are worth working on.
Deal with the safety - sure looks like a 700.
When the bolt is open, there isn't much holding it in place, but it shouldn't flop that much. Bolt stop has been messed with?

I just put a carbine together on a 600 action. Stock from the EE, a XP100 barrel in 7BR. Trigger guard is bowed, of course. Stock had a pad added without shortening, so it was way too long. Cut and refitted, so it is just right now.

Do you think the hole trigger is from a 700 or just the leaver, like to know if i could just order a leaver or better off replacing the entire trigger?
Thanks
Lyle

I think you have a M700 trigger mechanism with a M600 trigger installed.

Go see Rob at Wise Choice up highway 11 north of Washago and see what he can do for you. Ask if he can rebore that worn out 6mm barrel to something else. 250 Savage would be sweet. I know he has a 284 reamer. I just looked, my 660 firing pins don’t stick out the back like that. I think you have a Frankenstein on your hands.

I recently bought an aluminum trigger guard from Willie, the same as in the link from the 24hour campfire link. It was a very nice product. I suspect the fit would be excellent on a factory rifle, however mine (new to me with issues as well) has a Timney trigger which took a little dremel and file work to cut in. It was an enjoyable project, nothing too extreme.

My 600 Mohawk is chambered 6x47 Rem, used it for short range benchrest league this year and did quite well with it. Great little rifle! I could see myself with another someday, hunting rifle in .260 would be very nice.

Ive talked to Rob at Wise Choice a couple times, nice guy and heard good things. Didnt know he did boaring, thanks I will. 284 is interesting. Ive heard a guy up by sudbury does some boaring as well.
I knew I had a Frankenstein when i pulled the stock to see yard sale stickers on it! Not sure i noticed different firing pins from my 660. Ill take another look at them! Thanks

What Barrel manufactures did you go with? Approx cost? Might need to figure out a budget for this one, or maybe its better if i dont!

Good to know, ive been thinking about a timney trigger as well.
Your Mohawk sound cool in 6x47. Dont hear of that every day.
I have a Rem 788 in 6mm rem and like the round

 

[Simpson302]

I think you have a M700 trigger mechanism with a M600 trigger installed.

Ok so maybe I can order just a leaver from a 600 without replacing the entire trigger. A Fellow GNR has a timney used as well

I would go a JC barrel or a Bob Jury barrel -both Guys make a Good Product JMO. RJ

Stainless or blued?

Still trying to figure out why the bolt handle comes too far down to make contact with the stock? See dents in stock in the photo, what could be causing this or what do i look at to fix?
