If he takes it apart himself will he then get static from Rem or LGS?

Dude.... they come apart just fine, that's how you clean them.... you do clean em, right!
Plus Remington has already agreed to ship an extractor.

Ok so I replaced the extractor with help from a great YouTube video. Cleaned and lubed the receiver and took the rifle for a spin (finally). It cycles great and is a good shooter, but my issue now is I really have to slam the magazine in for it to seat properly. Either way for 200 OTD with a scope im pretty happy with it

An yeah I'd probably be happier paying more for a
10/22 but theres always time for that

I feel the heavy mag seating just gives "positive feed back" and makes me feel macho even though its just a 22lr.

I don't like stuff on guns that is so 'lite' you might guess if it engaged or not.

No, I never cleaned my 597, ever, except for bore snake and spraying the whole works with Rem Oil. Bought for $169, shot few thousand, $200 at EPA buy back. IIRC the over oiling DID result in 'contact suction' of some part and I had to nudge the bolt to have it snap into battery.


I shouldered the 10/22 VS Rem and Rem felt so much better. Still does.

I had bad luck with my 597
From jams to light primer strikes

Ended up getting rid of it and buying a 10/22
Never looked back
