Remington 700 series lockback knife

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Remington 700 series lockback knife

Post by KaminskiJL »

Hello,

I have a large chinese-made Remington 700 series lockback (looks like a Buck 110) that I inherited from my cousin when he passed. The spring on the knife is broken so the knife will not lock open or stay closed. I was able to remove the pin that the lock bar pivots on and shake out the broken piece of spring metal, however, I can't seem to locate the pin(s) that hold the two slabs together so I can remove the rest of the lock spring. Can anyone out there help with how I would locate the pins so I can completely disassemble the knife. I would also appreciate any advice on how to make and fit a new spring. Any help will be appreciated. I have attached some pictures so you can see my dilemma.

Might have better luck finding or getting an answer in the Repair and Restoration forum, where the knife mechanics hang out. viewforum.php?f=48

I recommend you buy the book "Knife Repair & Restoration" by Adrian Harris

Can you get a clear closeup picture looking down at the knife from the top, with the blade open? Also one of each end? Want to see the liners.
