As a follow up, I received a box from Remington but no shipping label to return the rifle. So I called Remington and they told me that they would email me a label. As I was talking to the rep, I asked her how long the turn around time was and she informed me that a decision wouldn't be made by...
I entered the serial # of the rifle into Remington's Class action database and it said it wasn't included. Next I called Remington and after describing the problem and giving him the serial # he told me the gun was covered under the class action and gave me a link to go to. Bottom line is...
I pulled this gun out of the safe. I can't remember how old it is. I got it from my uncle years ago. I did sight it in more than 5 years ago. Fortunately, while the gun was unloaded I noticed that when the safety is pushed to the fire position the gun fires. I tried it a dozen times and it...
very slim odds for sure! I still have primers on the floor next to my reloading bench and have yet to set one off and I have mashed in the sides on quite a few without setting them off. At least you didn't have a pile of powder sitting on the floor!
When your buying a gun from someone your not thinking about the smell of it. When you get it home and leave it on a desk and then come back 30 minutes later and the entire room reeks, then you realize you have an issue. This is a first for me. I've never had a problem quite like this.
Thanks RC! I will try washing the soft case today. As far as taking up smoking.....at 3 packs a day I think that would equal about 1 new gun every 2 months. I'd rather have the guns!
Update - I appreciate everyone's ideas. I had a some pledge orange furniture polish around so i coated the front and back of the grips, left them coated for 10 minutes and then wiped them down and set them on a heating vent to dry for a bit. The putrid smoke smell is gone! The grips are a...
sorry you are correct it is nickel. I have a browning sitting in front of me that is called silver chrome and had a brain fart while sending my last post. I oiled the metal on the gun when I was done so it should be fine. The grips are out in the garage reeking away!
I just picked up a 1983 S&W chrome 586 4" with wooden grips. The person that owned it must have been a serious chain smoker. The grips smell so bad that after you've handled the gun, your hand reeks of nasty smelling smoke. I took the grips off the gun and used hoppes #9 on the frame. The...
Glad to see you went with your gut feel! It is all personal preference and personal experience. I think I've had 5 Glocks over the years but I don't have any now. I've also had 6 CZ's of which I have still have 2. I will say this though, I wish I had all of the CZ's back that I ever owned...
I brought in a trapper two weeks ago due to the high number of coyote's we have on 1000 acre tract we hunt. He is using snares and has caught 11 so far. He's only touched 20% of the property so far.
