When you check the cam'ing it take the firing pin out of the bolt. Its quite easy to see if primary extraction is there or not. Is the 280 an AI or std.

The actual fix if that is the issue should be quite straight forward for a competent gunsmith who is good with a tig welder. Sadly I was not so lucky

Hi @mikee definitely looks like what's in you video. Cam not contacting. Forgot to take pictures but will do tomorrow.

First port of call is the guy who built it, give him the chance to fix it but not multiple chances like I was stupid enough to do because did not know any better. If he is any good and takes professional pride in a job well done then it will be sorted.

Your reloading will not be to blame, nor will anything else. Its a really really common issue that some suppliers seem to have no clue about.

Yep I think that's the only way to go from here, certainly beyond my expertise. Guess I'm hanging on to the hope I can still use it this roar. Ha could always carry round a cleaning rod.

Just think of it as a muzzle loader?!
Definitely take it back to the gunsmith who did the job so they have the opportunity to diagnose & fix. But I would also share with them what you’ve experienced in trying to diagnose the fault & the known fault in some REM700 actions for lack of primary extraction.
