Screw Remington *Rant*

[mx'r]

There is no damage (to gun) so I didnt take any pics. There is a pic of the gun that I posted in the hunting forum under " afternoon pheasants". Still works fine, but still has an issue with both barells firing the 3" at the same time. I was bloody from a busted nose, and tore the meat on my trigger finger. I'll destroy the other firearms before I help spread their name/weapons instead of selling them. Just dont care.

Sorry to hear of your troubles and I'm glad you're okay...but uhhhh...send them to me for quick disposal.

Glad you're okay. Their response is quite concerning.

Before you send them to him I think I had better inspect them first


Recoil induced misfire?
Maybe the same guy that designed the 700 trigger had a hand in these.
Interesting issue.

Yes BP, from what Remington told me it is recoil induced. I love the way the gun shoots, but WAY to dangerous keep around. One would think a quick install of some firing pin springs would fix the problem. Cant believe that Remington is gonna fight this one.

He'll I want to shoot that thing! That is just what I need for pheasants! Double my chances

Ill be calling you tomorrow to figure out this next week!

This is not the first twin-tuber to double fire under heavy recoil loads. This happened to me with a Browning and my father with an SKB. In both cases, the company apologized profusely and paid for shipping in both directions for the repair. In the case of my father's SKB, they completely went through the gun and updated or replaced several parts at no charge.

Dude, don't give them your $1k+ gun back for free! Have it repaired at Cole's or Briley and then sell it.

Sorry to hear you got hurt by your gun. Yikes.

This is what pisses me off so much. Remington knows that there is a problem with these, but wont fix under warranty without receipt and bill of sale. Any chance someone would write me a receipt that owns a gun shop? I remember the shop in Conifer where I bought it, but they closed down a couple of years ago.

I don't think this plan would be the way to go. They are going to know what wholesaler bought it and when. Your date of sale would have to be after that date.
A better angle- tell them you received it as a gift and therefore have no access to a receipt
as the party that gifted it to you is A-deceased or B-out of the country.
You could advise them what shop it was purchased it from is now closed and you cannot get a copy of a receipt.

This is BS that Remington is treating product deficiency issues like this. Even lowly Century treats its customers better.
This is also a major part of the reason that I personally won't own a Remington not to mention just a substandard product. You should be able to reasonably expect scope mount hole to be aligned and tapped correctly when you spend just south of 1K for a rifle.
