Anyone know what specific guns were affected by the recall? I've got two 700s, both from around 2000. The bolt functions with the safety on or off from what I recall. From memory, there is something funky about the safety though. Once you pull the trigger, you can't put the safety back on without cycling the bolt. I'll have to check them out soon.
Also, does regular Rem Oil freeze up like that? I'd heard of WD-40 gumming things up, but not gun oil.
If I can't give it a good cleaning, I have been known to just soak it down with Rem Oil if it has been raining. May not be a good thing after reading this.
