I have a model 700 in 30.06 its about 20 years old. The gun will fire only once in a while when the trigger is pulled. The Pin leaves a mark on the primer but fails to ignite the bullet. I have tried different ammo with the same results. Are there any on going issues with this problem? Would replacing the bolt assembly be a way of easily resolving this issue or are there other recommendations?
thanks

Can you provide a picture of how deeply the firing pin indents the primers?
No, this is NOT a problem known issue with Model 700s of any period, but expecially not 20-year old ones.

Initially, I would strip the bolt, or have a smith strip it and give it a great cleaning! Many times, oils and lubes will gum up and slow down the lock time and weaken the blow to the primer.

Its been my experience that having the correct tools WILL make that much easier! Sinclair and Brownells have the tools. Most smiths will also have the tools. There are videos for most guns on youtube, if you decide on the DIY route.

I got the bolt apart and it was gummed up even has some rust in the threads. Did not expect that and i believe that may do the trick. Have not shot it yet.

Now that you have it apart, clean the devilish rust and old lubes off every part, I would use a good amount of mineral spirits or other really good crud cutter and degreaser. Then I would contact Remington for recommendations on what oil or lube to use, based upon your location. Whatever you use, don't over lube the bolt, as you can see what can happen.
If you suspect any rust to any of the springs, just replace them. Don't guess, just spend a couple of bucks, and put new springs into the bolt. It will save you lots of aggravation! Keep us posted on the progress! We be really nosy!!!! Lol! I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees...

I'd love to see some after photos of the bolt taken apart right before reassembling it and test-firing the thing.
