    remington 700 receiver old quality control issue

    Hi All
    I recently picked up a LA 700 with the intention of doing a build on it. Took the factory barrel off to find the receiver lugs are screwed. something slipped at the factory and trying to find any others.
    What it is is the lugs have a step in them so the bolt is only bearing on the outer part of them. about 1/4 of full contact

    The action is 20+ years old. serial number is 6598455.
    If you have an older Remington with a similar date serial it might pay to check the lugs
