Remington Warranty

[boyguan]

I was suppose to get a rifle repaired back in September but was returned from the shipper.

Has anyone gotten anything back or repaired since they were bought?

You do know that Remington filed bankruptcy and was dissolved, right?

Yup. I got my shotgun back unrepaired. They included a letter stating that since they went bankrupt, they would not honor the warranty. It sat at remington for months for nothing.

At least you got it back!

Heard yesterday that a bunch of Rem factory workers were asked to return (after being laid off something like a month ago.)

The manufacturing holdup with the new owners was reported to be obtaining new FFL's and such. Haven't heard if all that has been worked out. Also don't know if that would affect warranty repairs (though I would assume so.)

Edit: Apparently Roundhill has received their required FFL's: https://www.timestelegram.com/story/...nse/6602625002

I know they filed for bankruptcy. I even got a notice of class action lawsuit in the mail.

But if they decide to not honor warranties then they might as well stop the production line as i think many people will stop buying. I think they will still honor it but later once the details are worked out.

OP, might as well look for a good smith to fix. Who knows what will happen with Remington in the future, right? Reality is, no one knows, just speculation and wishful thinking.

i could but its not a big deal.

my action screws i believe are out of spec. you cant exactly fix that easily.

I'm a big fan of some of Remington's products, especially their older 700 models. But you should think twice about buying a new Remington product for the reasons others have already stated. Even with a new owner, new products are "Remington's" in name only. It's a shame, but it is what it is......

What specific model rifle?
How specifically do you believe the screws to be out of spec?
Were the screws too long or too short or too loose or too tight in the reciever?

[LynnJr]

My guess is you bought a chassis and the screw holes don't line up like they did on the factory stock?

Yep,

You replied in a previous thread i had already. When comparing the my other 700 action, the holes in this action are off and do not fit in any other chassis that i have. During dissassembly i found that they forced and striped the screws in order to get it tight.

I have a r700 PCR which is in a chassis already. I tried fitting it into my MDT chassis just to compare and its a nogo. My other r700 fits in both and measures different than this one.

I have a PCR. The action does not swap into my other chassis but my other action fits into this fine.

I compared my screw centers and the know good action measures 6.500" while the one i am having issues with is 6.515". .015" off. I tried to contact them to find their tolerance but no reply. I am assuming that its a standard tolerance at either .005" or .003" for position.

The company went bankrupt. It's not surprising nobody answered the phone.

Their assets were bought at auction, but I haven't heard the new owners say it was going to be business as usual. They may only decide to manufacture some product lines, if any at all.

The stock screw holes are typically 1/16" oversize of the screws to allow a decent amount of tolerance in the screw position.
If the stock is a super tight fit to the screw, the screw would be taking recoil.
Having the screw take recoil is a no-no.

Drill out the screw holes in your chassis to clear the screws.
