Remington EtronX: Electrically Primed Ammunition
This entry details the Remington Model 700 EtronX, a bolt-action rifle produced from 2000-2003 that utilized an electrically primed ammunition system. Expert Ian McCollum explains the unique electrical primer, which functions as a resistor, and the modified bolt assembly. The system was powered by a 9V battery housed in the buttstock, with an LED indicator for safety status. While cartridges were designed to be reloadable with standard components, they required specialized electrical primers.
