New part is on order from Numrich, should be here middle of next week. I'll post some stuff as I progress, assuming that I do in fact make progress(!).
The underside of the bolt looks OK, I have a few other Remingtons of the same series, and they look pretty similar in comparing them. The notch that the sear engages is much less pronounced than the hook on the sear. It's shaped more like this:
\_/
Though the angles of the vertical sides are a bit more shallow than this. In any event I'll avoid messing with it until I have the new parts and can see how well it functions.
I like this family of guns. I have a few of them, and they are all really accurate given what they are. I have one I bought for 40 bucks maybe 30+ years ago that had lived at a summer kids camp in its past life. It was old when I got it. I have a decent 3-9x scope on it and it still can group shots at 50 yards that you can just about cover with a quarter on one of my better days.
I have another one that is so covered with pits on the outside that it looks like the moon, but still shoots very well. I don't know where it had been stored that it got so beat up, but by some miracle the bore still looks great and it shoots well. I have a project in mind for that one. I'll be soliciting ideas here when I get that in the works, no doubt.
Thanks for chiming in, I appreciate the feedback.
