Thread: Remington Recall

Covering your ass from the lawyers is an American fact of life. Spill hot coffee in your lap and sue the coffee shop. Become a millionaire and move to NZ. Hmmm, maybe this trigger thing is not as bad as I thought.

Funny, I currently have 3 700's in the safe(one isn't mine). Two are effect and one is not.

In doing the check for the one not effect, I was given a 20% off promo code for the clothing brand. Had a look and they don't ship out of the USA, so waste of time. I suspect the 40% some of you are talking about is for the same site that doesn't ship to NZ.

Anyway, once the trigger has been disassembled polished and put back together, the loctite issue pretty much goes away.

The more interesting thing is the rifle that is not effected(according to there site) had an issue with a "hang fire" on first firing. it release about 5 seconds after pulling the trigger. This was brand new at this stage. Took the stock off and scrubbed the factory grease and shit out. No problems after that. Again have had a smith strip and polish it since.

I took my trigger out when I brought are new one and put in the old 700 trigger.

I couldn't see anything about not completing the form if you are outside the USA. The form country drop,down box includes New Zealand.

I was told its a load of shit unless you are from the States. All about public liability. Apparently the media got hold of some twat that had an accidental discharge before Remington new anything about it. Remington will be releasing a statement at the end of the week.

I appreciate that Cambo, thanks.

I personally like Remington especially the Remington 700. It is a good rifle. I prefer 7mm Rem Ultra Mag because it is best for taregt shooting and also for hunting. But these rifles need regular cleaning after shooting.

Looks like they are sending out new triggers. No word on how to get them though.
Outdoor Brands are remaining very quiet, even to the point of removing their Facebook page.

Would be just as easy to buy a timney trigger and be done with it

Toby I can see a poo70 on its way via the forum server just as a warning shot!

Huh?
