I would prefer never to have to use customer service, but in case you do need the service, it is nice to know that they are so prompt.

 

Thats pretty quick and good to hear!

 

When you get it back we'd probably all like a report on how it was repaired.
That is quick turn around.:congrats:

 

YUP. Let us know how they did.

The turn around time is excellent, hopefully the repair is also.

 

AMEN! :congrats:

 

Lets hope things are looking up !

 

I had the same experience last spring when returning my new 45/70 GG for a crimped mag tube.

 

Glad to hear their customer service is working out for you. I had a different experience but it was with their line of ammunition.

 

Wow ,that's a great turn a round time...I just sent my GBL into them today. I'm crossing my fingers they fix the problem and return it as fast as they got yours back to you..

 

Have you gotten it back yet?

 

UPS tracker says its "Out for delivery" today. It was delivered to UPS facility in Stafford Texas, same place I shipped it to Remington. Stafford/Katy both on outskirts of Houston. Going to a dog show this week-end, will post pictures soon..:driver:

 

Max getting a little exercise.

 

Let's see, slither of wood missing a? Got it! Duct Tape!!

 

I'm betting Remington got it right!

 

For the sake of the owner, I hope so..............I hope the stocks match in color and grain, and I hope the fits are consistant with what should be expected.

I recently ordered a new plain/barrel band stock set for a 70s production 1894/.44mag, and received a checkered/nose cap stock set from them. I called to ask what the hay, and they said there would be a new set in the mail in a few weeks. When I asked how I should return the incorrect set, the guy said to keep it and use it till the right one arrives. Now I have two sets. I call that great service! Now, if they would build Marlins with the same pride we'd have something...

 

It came back in great shape with a better piece of walnut than my original. Fit and match to forend is excellent

 

The other side..

 

Bob, that's nice wood right there! I'm happy they did you right. Thanks for the picture, we've been waiting to see how it turned out for you! :tee:

 

Glad they did you right. Looks great.

 

I'm glad they did you right! :congrats:

 

Hey that is nice looking wood. I'm happy for you.
Let us know how it shoots. Enjoy!

 

Glad it worked out for you. Hope things are finally turning around with Remington.

 

So apart from the woodwork how has it been mechanically?

 

It has been to spec, mechanically. I reworked the trigger per one of the threads on this site and it now breaks at about 3.5# (measured with a fishing scale).The action was stiff when brand new but after working it a couple hundred times while watching TV it has smoothed out nicely. Accuracy out of the box was excellent (with factory 300 grain Winchester ammo) I have not found a reload (so far) that does as well. I am going to load 10 rounds with IMR 4895 tonight (405 Gr. Jacketed Flat Nose Bullets) and try again tomorrow.:hmmmm:

 

I've had really great results using the Rem. 405gr SP & Varget & H4198 velocities in the low 1400s & extreem spreads of single digits. I've seldom had single digit extreem spreads in any rifle. I don't know what Jacketed FN bullet you are using, but even with lead bullets those velocities shouldn't lead & are a LOT of fun to shoot.They are trapdoor specs. & should be good in any rifle warranted for Smokeless.

 

Its great they fix the probems fast its just too bad they expect customers to be their QC department.
