Thanks @InSight Freedom - I appreciate that!

I have a first year 788 and the trigger is so good I wouldn't dare touch it. And the barrel still free floats perfect!

Groovy! They are one of my favorites.

I was looking the 788 up in my book and see where they offered it in 7mm-08, 30-30 and a carbine in 44 mag. I think I’ll start keeping an eye out for them👍🏻

Indeed, @Georgiaboy44, I’d like to have one in .30-30! I’ve been watching...

I would go and get a timney trigger for it, then work over that stock, stain, I would use a light walnut stain to bring out the grain. then work it over a few times applying danish finnish tung oil, keep applying it and let it harden thoroughly between light sanding with steel wool. Then install pillars for the action, Glass bed the entire receiver area and barrel lug area. seal the sock channel for the barrel with true oil. Keep it as a 6mm remington and experiment with it, If by chance later you could convert it to another caliber to your liking. I'm not sure, However, don't quote me on this... I believe that the 6mm remington was the one that had the longest action and was the only one of the series that had it. anyway, winter is coming up and that would be a good video series to do for your channel. -Dave.

Fine ideas, Dave!

That 6mm makes a great varmint / deer rifle .

I haven't experienced that yet on the ones that I've disassembled. Thanks for the note, John.

I have a 788 in 6mm...safety and trigger seized up....(has not been shot or cleaned in 40 years) ...suggestions on disassembly? I have another stock trigger assembly from Ebay

Hmm...will the safety lever move enough to allow the bolt to come out? If not, I'm guessing it would be possible to remove the circlip/screw that holds the safety lever to the trigger group, and lower the bolt stop. It may also be possible to loosen the trigger screw, tap out the cross pin and remove the whole trigger assembly to let the bolt out. Thanks for watching!

does the trigger screw that you loosened at first screw into the receiver or is it just pushing against the receiver? im working on one that has a stripped head and im wondering how to go about getting it out

Hello CodeRed - the screw just pushes against the receiver. Thanks for watching!

@@WilliamCChapin My 788 OEM trigger has a very small locking pin or screw that keeps the tension screw from turning. It's purposefully "jammed" into the head of the tension screw much like the receiver screws on an old Browing A5 shotgun. Have you run into this situation? Any ideas how to remove this locking pin or screw? I don't see a slot in this locking device, that's why I'm calling it a "pin."

I haven't run across any sort of mechanical "anti-tamper" device retaining the Housing Lock Screw in any of the 788's that I've had apart. It strikes me that the rifles I've been inside all had a headless set screw.

@@WilliamCChapin I updated my discoveries regarding this "anti-tamper" device in your other video about your 788 Canjar trigger find. It was simply a drilled "dimple" that developed just enough of a wedge to hold the slotted screw in. All looked factory new, to me....or a very good gunsmith had done that.

Very good. I THINK I accidentally deleted a couple of your comments...the touch screen on this Panasonic ToughPad is different to use than a mouse and keyboard! I apologize for the mess-up!

Hoping you could help me, I have a canjar trigger for a 788, did you have to machine out the trigger guard plate to install it in your 788? It looks like the trigger will not fit.

@WilliamCChapin

I think that is typical. The Canjar in the video has had the top of the trigger shoe reshaped to clear the bottom metal. It may be possible to widen the slot instead.

Yes, I removed the shoe to fit the trigger through the bottom metal.

The original one is the one not installed and the one I have on the 788 is the new version which I called Gen 2 and the original one is the Gen 1. Let me know what you think

Some people like the early trigger setup with the locking bolt, others don't. I own and use both types. I don't think the Remington trigger recall or the class action settlement applies to the 788, and it is not included in the safety modification program.
