AGI Armorer’s Course for Remington 700 Rifles

Join Master Gunsmith, Robert “Bob” Dunlap, as he shows you all the ins and outs of the Remington 700 Rifle. Bob shows you a complete disassembly and assembly (not just field stripping), parts identification, proper cleaning and lubrication. We give you step-by-step instruction in design, function, and repair, including locking systems, feeding systems, sears, and triggers. Stocks are also covered along with easy repairs for common problems. Bob will take you inside this rifle and show you what each part is supposed to do and how to maintain and repair it.

If you want the quick course on how to get the Remington 700 Rifle apart, back together, and operating as intended, then this course is for you (if you want the long course look into our basic 108 hour Professional Gunsmith Course.)
