I've got a 1968 Remington 550-1. It belonged to my brother and when he was killed in a car accident they gave it to me. I have had it for over 25 years now. I have never shot it. There seems to be a problem with the sear,sear case, sear spring. All my research online seems to point to this being a problem area for these guns. Apparently when you take the sear case and spring out it allows the sear to drop a little. When you go to put the case and spring back in the spring doesn't seat right and it allows for cross threading of the case. This may be my problem,not sure.My question is, is there anyone in the Knoxville area that is remotely familiar with these rifles that could give me a hand? Not too familiar with firearm repair. Or any suggestions on a good gunsmith in the area. If it hadn't belonged to my brother I would't even bother. I have always wanted to get this gun back up and working.
