So has anyone here ever replaced the sear on one of the old Remington 510 or 511 rifles? I have one of these that has bee a bit of a back burner project for a while. The sear is worn out and sort of chipped/peened over. I understand this is not too uncommon with these guns as the sear doubles as the bolt stop, and years of use/abuse causes this sort of wear.
Anyone here ever replace one of these? I can get a replacement from Gun Parts pretty cheap, just curious how tricky these are to fit. The mechanism is simple enough to understand I think. Just curious if anyone has been down this road and has wisdom to offer...
Thanks!
