There was a recall on the 600's & 660's too, but I have been told that the 600 Mohawks with the gold trigger were not recalled, but I see no reason that they would be any different.How many have crud in them, or were slogged w WD40 and gummed up?
I still see folks unload Remington bolt guns by cranking rounds in and out of the chamber.
Like monkeys on crack.
Learned as a kid to bump and flip em out into my hand, without fully chambering a round.
There was a recall on 600's way back IIRC.
Ah man! That's sad. I'm sorry to hear about something like that.It scared her quite badly and her dad chastised her because he thought she had pulled the trigger and that was that. I doubt she will ever shoot a gun again.
I'll say this again, Hookeye, you don't know what you're talking about! I was at my range a couple of years ago with a good friend who bought a Remington 700 in .270 caliber back in the '60's. This was going to be his first attempt in quite a while to shoot this rifle. We watched as he loaded it and then when he closed the bolt the riffle went off and his finger was nowhere near the trigger. This rifle was purchased new and no-one, I mean no-one had ever put any type of tool on it. That trigger was and is a bad design. I tried to get this friend to hook up with a lawyer in the case against Remington as he could have made a bundle but instead he called Remington who immediately sent him shipping instruction to have the rifle sent to them for repair.And not Remington's fault.
A great deal of folks do only that, or worse, for maintenance.Wonder what contaminates were in the. trigger.....being it was oiled and stored for years before use.
Did he pull it apart and flush w solvent before use?
Wonder if he did the old WD 40 down the bore and set it upright in a rack LOL
Lots of folks did.
