[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 3992161, member: 17621"] Fixing this for another member. Remington 788, the stud that holds the trigger on the receiver is prone to breaking off. This is somewhat common with these guns. The stud is spot welded on at the factory and it's not attached very well. You can see where over time corrosion has weakened the weld and if you drive the trigger assembly pin out, the stud breaks off. Copious amounts of measuring before anything is done. This is a one-and-done operation, the receiver is hardened and you get one chance to drill it in the right place. The receiver is drilled and threaded for a screw-in stud. The stud is hand fabricated from a bolt. The stud is then hardened and installed. It takes 5 minutes to write this up, several hours to actually do it. [/QUOTE]
