Remington customer service (returned unrepaired)

Your mspaint drawing abilities are poor.
There is a feature in mspaint to snap a straight line between two points.

I thought i did pretty good free hand in a hurry. Haha. Either way the gun still looks the same after 4 months. Randall is this something a competent gunsmith can fix without having to reparkerize the whole barrel? Im not worried about the price or time frame. Im happy to pay to make it look factory fresh. Hopefully with the paperwork I have from the bankruptcy lawyers I have i can get it at least partially covered. If not then, oh well, I want what I want.

If I were tasked with fixing it, I would drift out the front sight blade from the base and then unsolder the base and re-solder it so it's square to the barrel.
Part of the prep for soldering the front sight base is to blast the base and the whole area clean of the old solder.
Then after the sight base is soldered on, you blast away the excess solder that flows out from under the sight base.
Then the whole barrel has to be reparkerized so it will match.

That's the right way to do it.

Thank you for the information. It is great to have a resource like you here.

Agreed 100%.

good thing you got it back. In all honestly thats not as bad as some WASR's ive seen but yeah that would be annoying.

If I was sure I wanted to keep it, knowing Remington won't fix it, I would pay to have it repaired the right way.

I know I'm going to keep it. I do plan to have it fixed correctly. At this moment I am going to use it as is. When "new" remington gets back to business I will follow up with them and see if they will honor it. If not then the barrel will get sent off to a reputable smith to get it fixed the right way.

Thanks to all involved.
