tbutera2112 buy anything made by remington... it will turn you into a gunsmith real quick with all the time spent fixing it
Humm, I got about a dozen of them... never HAD to do anything but sight em in, load em and shootem, then clean em...
My old 870 could use some new wood, but that only from getting drug around in a patrol car for 20 years or so... I have however qualified on a 10" Lathe and a 3hp Bridgeport mill... My Brownell's account was opened about 35 years ago when you had to be a gunsmith or a gunshop to buy from them...
I haven't had to FIX that many Remingtons.. no i have WORKED on a bunch of them... Mostly upgrades and simple bedding or scope mounts.. but actual Problems... Naw... dang few. Now Sako's, Smith long guns (when they made em), Brownings..Marlins, Rossi, a host of imports... Yeah.. The old Nylon Series 22's by Rem... yup all the time..
The now infamous Rem Trigger... I don't buy it... But MANY a fool has tried to adjust them and screwed up... causing 90% of those problems... Because they had NO idea what they were doing...
Trigger time, I got it... and most of my long gun time is nestled up to a Remington product... 700's, 600's, 788's, 870's, 1100's,1187's and even an old Rolling Block... Ain't Nothing wrong with em...
Can you tell I'm a Remington fan?
