Great video, I've been replacing these POS for years. Customers love seeing the difference between the old j-lock and a new replacement. Easy sell, cheap fix.
I have 4 700’s I bought new that have the j locks. I always wanted to replace like you did here. Just never had any issues with my 2 predator rifles (17 rem and 243)and 2 ultra mags (300 and 375) that I’ve been shooting for decades. Eventually I’ll get around to it. Thanks for the reminder.
It doesn’t look like Silver finishes match up. I have one that’s been dipped in camel two stainless and one blued. How did the blue finishes match up? Doesn’t look like the silvers do very well but who cares right… at least you have a more reliable ignition system. I’ve been looking at Greg stuff for probably 15+ years and never pulled the trigger. Just because I haven’t had an issue yet but eventually it’s gonna bug me in one day. I’ll have to replace them all. I just don’t like the idea of that coil spring just a bad bad design.
Yes, sometimes it's not an issue... "one of those things", right? Well, if you're interested in upgrading, accurizing, customizing, and/or restoring any of your 700's, We're definitely your one stop shop!!
Run away?? Come on.... Simple. replacement resolves any issue you have with the J lock. If i had run away inwouldnt own 2.of the best rem 7s i own a SS 7SAUM and a 300SAUM. Both rifles are sub 1/2 "...jees
Gre-Tan also makes these for the Remington Model Seven. High quality for sure.

it's not an exact match, but who cares, right? As you say - it's an upgrade for the betterment!
That snake spring made me cringe ! Now i'm a walker trigger era man but geez what a mess. thankfully there is replacement.
left hand bolt?
Are the new 700’s coming with this lock?

it was a joke, sir... don't take me too literally! 🤣
Dont replace the bolt just the bolt shroud with one from G-tan
The video is literally all about replacing the j-lock firing pin assembly with the firing pin assembly made by Gre-tan Rifles.
