Well, Turns out my 550-1 did not shoot so good. Many fail to loads. Thinking it was probably the cartridge stop. I ordered a factory new cartridge stop/carrier assembly for it. Waited two weeks to get that from Numrich. Seems somewhere in past somebody did some "work" on my gun. When I finally got the part I started to disassemble the action only to find that the sear spring case threads were stripped and the sear spring was damaged and unusable. Had to get the case and spring from Popperts. Two weeks to get the case and spring. I was trying to see how the spring would fit back into the gun when it shot out of the gun, into the air and down into the corner pocket of the pool table. Two days of looking through the pool table, no luck. Spring is absolutely gone. Nowhere to be found. That was when I realized that the gun was missing the breech plug retainer and screw. Ordered a new sear spring and plug retainer from Numrich. . Two weeks to get them. The retainer was a reproduction, not original. And, It did not work. It would not retain the plug. I thought all I needed to do was bend back a little. No,it broke in half. Had to order a new "original" plug retainer from Classic Firearms and parts along with a deflector. Well now, finally Im finished. Got the gun all back together. Near two months later and another $100 my Remington 550-1 is shooting like new.
